Ingredients:

For the Marination:

• 1 kg chicken, bone-in (drumsticks or thighs)
• 1 cup yoghurt
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tbsp Nuvi Spicez’ Chicken Masala
• 1/2 lemon, squeezed
• 1 tbsp mustard oil
• Salt to taste

For Basting:

• 1 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Pinch of Nuvi Spicez' Chicken Masala

How to Create Your Tandoori Magic:

1. Marinate to Perfection: In a large bowl, mix the chicken pieces with yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, Nuvi’s Chicken Masala, mustard oil, lemon juice and salt. Massage the marinade into the chicken, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let it rest in the fridge for at least 2-4 hours or even overnight for the ultimate flavour infusion.

2. Prep Your Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill or oven to 200°C (400°F). If using an oven, line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top to ensure even cooking.

3. Grill to Smoky Goodness: Place the marinated chicken on the grill or oven rack. Cook for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is charred and fully cooked through. If using an oven, switch to the broil setting for the last 5 minutes to get that perfect smoky finish.

4. Baste for Extra Juiciness: While the chicken is cooking, mix melted butter, lemon juice and a pinch of Nuvi’s Chicken Masala. Brush this over the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling for an extra layer of flavour and moisture.

5. Serve & Savour: Serve your Tandoori Chicken hot, garnished with fresh coriander and a side of lemon wedges. Pair it with naan, a green chutney or even a light salad for a well-rounded meal. The smokiness and spice will make every bite unforgettable!

Pro Tip:

For an authentic charred flavour, you can finish the chicken on a stovetop grill pan for a few minutes on high heat.
