Categories     dinner, weekday, roasts, main course

Time 45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3-pound chicken, quartered and skinned
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger root
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala or tandoori seasoning
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, slash the chicken diagonally along the grain. The slashes should be about 1/2-inch deep and about 1/2-inch apart. Rub the slashes with the salt and set the chicken in a ceramic bowl. In another bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, ginger and garam masala and pour over the chicken. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  • One hour before serving, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 500 degrees. (This chicken can also be cooked on a charcoal grill; if using one, light the coals at this point.) Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Drizzle each piece with oil and roast for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the juices run clear. (If using a grill, cook for 20 to 30 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crisp and the juices run clear.)

This was the worst tandoori chicken I've ever had. The chicken was tough and dry, and the marinade was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I've tried several tandoori chicken recipes, and this one is by far the best. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the marinade is so flavorful.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the marinade was bland. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of tandoori chicken, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the marinade was flavorful without being too spicy.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so moist and tender, and the marinade was packed with flavor. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
