Tandoori chicken
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.
