Tandoori Chicken Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken, skin removed
- 1 onion, juiced
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup cream
- Ferns' Tandoori Paste
- Lemon juice or additional yogurt
- Ferns' Ginger and Garlic Paste
- Salt to taste
- Oil for basting
Method:
-
Begin by making small incisions in the chicken to ensure the marinade penetrates deeply. Place the chicken in a large bowl.
-
Grind the onion and squeeze out the juice. In a mixing bowl, combine the onion juice, yogurt, cream, Ferns' Tandoori Paste, Ferns' Ginger and Garlic Paste, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
-
Divide the marinade into two equal parts. To one half of the marinade, add lemon juice or additional yogurt to enhance the tanginess, if desired.
-
Rub one portion of the marinade onto the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated inside and out. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
-
Marinate the chicken for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to infuse.
-
Preheat your grill or tandoor. Skewer the marinated chicken and place it on the grill.
-
Grill the chicken on either side, rotating occasionally, until it is cooked through and has a beautiful charred exterior. Baste the chicken with oil from time to time to prevent drying out, using the reserved marinade for added flavor.
-
Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve the Tandoori Chicken hot, garnished with sliced onion, lemon slices, and your choice of Indian bread. Enjoy the explosion of flavors in every mouthful of this delectable dish!
