Tandoori Chicken with Masala Yogurt Marinade Smoky Tandoori Chicken in Spiced Yogurt Marinade Ingredients: 4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste 1 tablespoon garam masala 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon turmeric powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Salt to taste 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Fresh cilantro and lemon wedges for garnish Directions: In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, paprika, and salt. Mix well to form a thick marinade. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or prepare a grill on medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess. Arrange on a lined baking sheet or grill rack. Brush chicken with vegetable oil and bake for 25–30 minutes (or grill for 6–7 minutes per side), until fully cooked and lightly charred. Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve garnished with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges.
