Easy Tandoori Chicken with Naan

Author: Flavelo
Main Courses Quick Meals
Tandoori chicken gets its name from the 'tandoor', the traditional clay oven where meat is roasted at extreme heat. At home, we imitate this with a broiler or hot skillet. The yogurt marinade not only flavors but tenderizes the meat fibers into butter-softness with its enzymes and acids.

Instructions

1 ✓

Score the meat (cut slits into it) so the marinade penetrates deeply.

2 ✓

Mix the yogurt with spices, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice.

Tip: Yogurt acidity breaks down meat proteins ('denaturation'), tenderizing it.
3 ✓

Toss meat in the mixture and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight).

4 ✓

Bake at 425°F (220°C) or grill for 25-30 minutes until black spots appear ('char').

Tip: Charring is the trademark of Tandoori style, giving it a smoky flavor.
5 ✓

Serve with warm Naan bread and cilantro.
