Sizzling Tandoori Chicken Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Sizzling Tandoori Chicken is a popular Indian dish known for its vibrant flavors and smoky aroma. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and lemon juice, which tenderizes the meat and infuses it with a rich, tangy taste. Traditionally cooked in a tandoor (clay oven), this recipe provides a stovetop alternative that still delivers the same delicious results. Serve the sizzling hot chicken with naan bread, mint chutney, and a side of fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Directions: Sizzling Tandoori Chicken Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, lemon juice, and salt.
  • STEP 2.Add chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  • STEP 3.Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle some oil and place the marinated chicken pieces on the hot pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a charred, smoky exterior.
  • STEP 4.Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with naan bread, mint chutney, and a side of salad.

Cooking Tips

  • For an authentic smoky flavor, you can add a small piece of charcoal to the marinade. Heat the charcoal until red hot, place it in a small bowl, and carefully place the bowl in the center of the marinated chicken. Drizzle some oil over the charcoal and quickly cover the bowl with a lid. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before removing the charcoal.
  • If you don't have a grill pan or skillet, you can also cook the chicken in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400掳F (200掳C) and place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • To make the mint chutney, blend together fresh mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilies, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and a pinch of sugar. Add a little water if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover tandoori chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350掳F (180掳C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve the sizzling tandoori chicken as a main course with naan bread, rice, or salad. It also makes a great appetizer or party dish.
