Tandoori chicken is a classic Indian dish that is made by marinating chicken in yogurt and spices, then roasting it in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven. The result is a succulent, flavorful chicken that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. This article includes three different recipes for tandoori chicken: a traditional recipe, a recipe for chicken tikka masala, and a recipe for tandoori chicken wings. All three recipes are easy to follow and use simple ingredients that can be found at most grocery stores. So, fire up your grill or preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy some delicious tandoori chicken!

**Traditional Tandoori Chicken:**
This recipe is the most authentic, and it uses a yogurt marinade that is flavored with ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, and garam masala. The chicken is then roasted in a tandoor, but can also be cooked in a regular oven.

**Chicken Tikka Masala:**
This recipe is a variation on the traditional tandoori chicken, and it includes a creamy tomato sauce. The chicken is first marinated in yogurt and spices, then grilled or roasted. The sauce is made with tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, and spices, and it is simmered until it is thick and creamy.

**Tandoori Chicken Wings:**
This recipe is a fun and easy way to enjoy tandoori chicken. The chicken wings are marinated in yogurt and spices, then roasted in the oven until they are cooked through. They can be served with a dipping sauce of your choice.

BOBBY'S TANDOORI SPICED CHICKEN



Bobby's Tandoori Spiced Chicken image

Adapted from Bobby Flay's recipe over on FN's website. The recipe posted there makes much more spice mixture than you would ever use to make the chicken, so I'm posted the reduced amounts. This is very spicy, so if you aren't a fan of heat, cut the cayenne to 1/2 teaspoon. This is served with Bobby's Grilled Tomato Jam & Herbed Yogurt. (Posting separately so it's not overwhelming.)

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 (8 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 pita breads

Steps:

  • Heat up your grill to medium high.
  • Spice Paste - mix all of the spices and oil together in a small bowl. The paste will be thick, and you can add more oil if needed to achieve a paste consistancy.
  • Pound your chicken breasts until they are even thickness, if needed.
  • Spread a thin layer of the spice paste on ONE side of the chicken ONLY. (I used my fingers to rub the spices onto the chicken.) If you do both sides, the spices will be too overwhelming. Trust me, it'll have plenty of taste. (One side is Bobby Flay's recommendation, and I'll follow it.).
  • Grill your chicken until cooked through - about 3-4 minutes on each side. Pull the chicken off the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the grilled breasts, about 1/2 inch thick slices.
  • While the chicken is resting, warm the pitas on the grill - just until they are pliable. Top with the chicken slices and serve with grilled tomato jam and herbed yogurt.
  • NOTE: You can swap the herbed yogurt for plain sour cream or yogurt. DH made the herbed yogurt, and then when we ate leftovers we used sour cream, and preferred it.

TANDOORI SPICED CHICKEN WITH TAHINI CARROTS

One of my favorite spice blends available at my local market is billed simply as tandoori powder. Borrowing inspiration from the famous Indian chicken dish bearing the name tandoori, this creation is bright, aromatic, pleasantly spicy and seriously amazing on everything from meat to fish to tofu to vegetables. If your market doesn't have this available (or if you're one of these awesome people who'd rather get all DIY on it), make some of your own and keep it close by - you'll want to put it on everything.

Number Of Ingredients 24

Tandoori Powder:
3 tablespoons ground coriander
3 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons garam masala or curry powder
Tahini Dressing:
3 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 finely grated clove garlic
Salt and pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons warm water
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips)
3 tablespoons tandoori powder
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
4 to 5 medium carrots, peeled
1/4 cup tahini dressing
3 tablespoons roughly torn parsley and/or cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons toasted cashews, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • For the tandoori powder, combine all the ingredients and store in an airtight container at room temperature (the above recipe makes about 3/4 cup). For the tahini dressing, combine all the ingredients and adjust the dressing's consistency with more or less water and store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week (makes about 3/4 cup).
  • Preheat a gas grill to high (or prepare the coals for a charcoal grill). In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken with the tandoori powder and oil to evenly coat the meat. Arrange the chicken on the grate and grill, turning as needed, until cooked through, about 8 minutes total. Move the chicken to a plate.
  • While the chicken is cooking, cut the carrots into ribbons by running a vegetable peeler straight down each carrot from stem to root. After you've cut about halfway through the carrot, flip it over to cut down the other side.
  • Divide the carrot ribbons among the serving plates and drizzle each with about 1 tablespoon tahini dressing. Garnish each salad with some herbs and cashews (if using) and serve with the grilled chicken.

1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup of fresh mint, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Use a good quality yogurt. The yogurt is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality yogurt. Look for a yogurt that is thick and creamy, and has a mild flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
