Classic Tandoori Chicken

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, garam masala, and salt to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) or prepare a grill for medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet or grill. Brush the chicken with vegetable oil.

5. 5

   Bake or grill the chicken for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

6. 6

   Serve the tandoori chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as naan or rice.
