Tandoori Chicken
Tender chicken drumsticks, marinated in a flavorful spiced yogurt mixture and perfectly baked. A classic Indian dish for an aromatic meal.
Steps
1
Pat chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Make 2-3 deep scores on each drumstick to help absorb the marinade.
2
Finely grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic cloves. Squeeze the juice from the lemon.
3
In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, grated ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, garam masala, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
4
Add the prepared chicken drumsticks to the marinade bowl. Ensure each drumstick is completely coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
5
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly brush with vegetable oil. Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks on the tray, leaving some space between them. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through and slightly charred.
