Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken:
Make deep incisions into the chicken drumsticks to allow the marinade to penetrate fully.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, garam masala, chili powder, and salt until smooth.
Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring each drumstick is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
2. Prepare for Cooking:
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet to catch any drips.
3. Cook the Chicken:
Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and brush with vegetable oil.
For grilling: Place the chicken on the grill, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred in spots.
For baking: Place the chicken on the prepared rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through, until fully cooked and lightly charred.
4. Garnish and Serve:
Garnish the Tandoori Chicken with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Conclusion:
Tandoori Chicken is more than just a meal; it’s a culinary experience that captures the essence of Indian cuisine. The bold, smoky flavors combined with the vibrant spices make this dish a perfect centerpiece for any meal.
