Instructions

- When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 °C (400° F).
- Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and bring it to room temperature while the oven is heating.
- Place the chicken pieces in an oven dish and bake them for 25 minutes, until the center of the thickest part reaches 74°C (165° F).
- If you prefer a chared look, broil it on the top rack for 5 minutes or until the charred mark appears.

Notes
- Choose thick plain yogurt for the marinade as it not only tenderizes the chicken but also adds a creamy and tangy taste.
- Lemon juice not only adds tanginess but also helps tenderize the chicken. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the cooked chicken for an extra zing.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking, as this helps retain its juices and ensures a tender and flavorful result.
- The marinade is made with yogurt, spices, Garlic Ginger Paste, and lemon juice, and helps to tenderize, spice, and flavor up the chicken.
- The leftovers would keep for up to 5 days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
- You can also make this delicious Indian Tandoori Chicken dish on the stovetop instead of in the oven.
- You can serve Tandoori Chicken as a starter or as a main course. Alternatively, you can use the cooked chicken pieces as a base for a creamy curry dish!
- Instead of chicken thighs, you can use breasts, legs, or even whole chicken if you prefer.
