Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 1/2 tablespoons turmeric
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 1/2 tablespoons garam masala
2 tablespoons salt
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
8 large chicken thighs with bones, skin removed
8 large chicken breast halves with bones, skin removed
4 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
2 large onions, coarsely grated

Steps:

  • Mix first 7 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Using sharp knife, cut three 3/4-inch-deep diagonal slashes in each chicken piece. Divide chicken between 2 large bowls and rub with spice mixture. Let stand 10 minutes. Divide yogurt and onions between same bowls. Toss chicken to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil; place cooling racks on prepared baking sheets. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken thighs to 1 sheet and chicken breasts to second sheet, spacing pieces slightly apart (make sure that chicken pieces do not touch and are covered in yogurt mixture). Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes for breasts and about 40 minutes for thighs. (Chicken can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated.) Place chicken on large platter. Serve cold or at room temperature.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The chicken is always cooked perfectly, and the yogurt marinade gives it a great flavor. I highly recommend this recipe!

This dish was amazing! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the yogurt marinade made it extra moist. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try marinating it for longer next time.
