When we first tried Chicken Tandoori, we searched on Youtube for preparation videos.
Now whenever we want to make Tandoori, we follow the below steps:
1. Wash the chicken legs thoroughly and make slits using a knife.
2. In a separate container make a paste of Chilly powder, Salt with water, the variation depends on how spicy we want. Apply this paste nicely into the chicken legs inside and outside the slits. Keep this aside for some time while you prepare the marinate/ tandoori mix.
3. For the marinate in a bowl add Yogurt, Turmeric, Chilly powder, Salt, Ginger-Garlic paste, Meat masala, Dhaniya powder, Jeera powder and color(optional). Mix it well using hands.
4. Apply the marinate nicely to the Chicken pieces and add a little amount of oil to coat the pieces so that the marinate sticks to the legs pieces and the masala starts entering them. Keep this aside.
5. Prepare the Tray for keeping in oven, Use two layers of Aluminium foil to avoid messing up.. :)
Take some oil and apply to the foil.
6. Arrange the chicken legs on the tray(You can add the oil from step two here and allow the tray to rest for a while before turning the oven ON.
7. Preheat the oven at 400-450 and place the tray inside the oven.
Check back after around 40 mins and see whether the pieces start leaving the liquid from the Curd marinate. If the pieces have started leaving the liquid then take the tray out carefully and throw away the excess liquid(this liquid can be used as well, I still have to figure it out). Put the tray for another 15 mins at 400 degrees in the oven.
Once done, switch it OFF and wait for the chicken to cool. Arrange the chicken legs on the serving tray and add chat masala for added flavours...
