Grilled Chicken – Chicken Tandoori

Tandoor means oven and chicken Tandoori usually cooked in the oven but in this recipe we cook it on a grilling pan. The only effort of this recipe is to prepare the batter for marinating the chickens. The rest is pretty easy.

Use skillet pan, or stone pans for grilling. Thermal shock on the surface brings more flavors to the chickens.

Preparation

Cut the surface of the chicken (3-4 cuts per each) so the marinade can coat more surface of the meat.

Making the marinate

– In a bowl add: The grated garlic and ginger, chopped chilly, all the spices, salt, yogurt, half of the chopped spring onions and oil. Mix to have a paste.

– Add the chickens and massage the paste all over.

– Leave them on room temperature for 30 mins.

– On a hot pan place the chickens.

– Each side should cook for 10-12 minutes (on medium heat). While cooking, chicken will release its juice.
