Step-by-step guide to making traditional tandoori chicken
Marinating the chicken
Marinating allows the chicken to absorb the rich flavours of spices and yoghurt. To prepare the marinade, combine natural yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic, and ginger paste, and the Shan Mix Tandoori Chicken BBQ. Add spices such as cumin, coriander, paprika, garam masala, turmeric, and salt to create a delicious blend. Coat the chicken evenly with the marinade and let it rest for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
Grilling the chicken
Grilling is the next step in this healthy grilled tandoori chicken recipe. You can use either a BBQ grill or an oven. Preheat your grill or oven to a high temperature. Place the marinated chicken on the grill, ensuring there's enough space for air circulation. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken reaches a perfect char and smokiness. To make it more flavourful, you can brush the chicken with a little oil during cooking to keep it moist.
Serving suggestions
Tandoori Chicken can be served in various ways, which makes it a versatile dish. Pair it with warm naan, fragrant rice, or a refreshing salad. For an authentic experience, consider serving it with mint chutney or yoghurt sauce on the side, which adds a cooling contrast to the spicy chicken.
