Ingredients: 2 lemons; 4 tsp paprika; 2 red onions; 16 chicken thighs; vegetable oil; 300 ml Greek yogurt; ginger; 4 garlic clove; ¾ tsp garam masala; ¾ tsp ground cumin; ½ tsp chilli powder; ¼ tsp turmeric

This tandoori chicken recipe features chicken thighs marinated in a vibrant blend of yogurt and spices, then grilled until lightly charred. The chicken first gets a quick soak in lemon juice and paprika, which helps tenderize it and build a base of flavor. Then, a thick yogurt marinade infused with ginger, garlic, garam masala, cumin, chili powder, and turmeric coats each piece. You can prepare the marinated chicken up to a day ahead, making it a convenient option for meal prep.
