Tandoori Masala Chicken Recipe/Oven Baked
For preparing this I have used 3.10 LB’S of boneless chicken thigh pieces cut into small or big sizes. Wash and clean the chicken and pat dry using a kitchen towel to soak and dry it up. Now into a bowl take 1/2 cup of thick yogurt, red chili powder, dry roasted cumin powder, salt as per taste, tandoori masala powder, ginger and garlic paste, coriander chopped, lime juice, some sugar, mustard oil, paprika, and mix. Into this marination mixture now add the chicken boneless thigh pieces and mix using hands. Cover and keep it marinated minimum of 2 hours. After its being marinated for 2 hours or more transfer this mixture into an oven-safe container and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour. The chicken is completely cooked at this point. Take it out from the oven. Heat a frying pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once the oil gets hot add 1 green chili chopped. Stir and quickly saute, Then add one medium sliced onion into it and fry these until turn golden brown in color and a nice aroma starts to come. Into the pan then transfer the chicken pieces along with the gravy into it and cook on medium to high flame to reduce the water. Gently stir in between and continue cooking until the gravy water reduces and it turns thicker. At this point turn off the flame. Garnish with some chopped coriander leaves and enjoy.
