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 the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine chicken with yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, NUVI Spicez Chicken Masala, mustard oil, lemon juice, and salt. Coat the chicken thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours or overnight for maximum flavour. Proper marination makes the Tandoori Chicken Recipe juicy, tender, and flavourful.
2. Prep Your Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill or oven to 200°C (400°F). If using an oven, place the chicken on a wire rack over a lined baking tray for even cooking and better texture.
3. Grill to Smoky Goodness: Cook the marinated chicken for 25–30 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred. For an authentic smoky finish, broil for the last 5 minutes. This step gives the Tandoori Chicken Recipe its signature restaurant-style flavour.
4. Baste for Extra Juiciness: Mix melted butter, lemon juice, and a pinch of NUVI Spicez Chicken Masala. Brush this mixture over the chicken during the final few minutes of cooking for added moisture and rich flavour.
5. Serve & Savour: Serve your hot and smoky Tandoori Chicken Recipe with mint chutney, naan, onion rings, and lemon wedges. It also pairs perfectly with salads and jeera rice.

Pro Tip:

For a more authentic smoky taste, finish the chicken on a stovetop grill pan over high heat for a few minutes before serving.
