THE METHOD

Let's make it.

  1. 01

    Make deep slits on the chicken pieces. In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, Qureshi's Chicken Tandoori Masala, red chili powder (if using), and salt.

  2. 02

    Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated and marinade gets into the slits. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

  3. 03

    Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) or grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease a baking tray or grill grates.

  4. 04

    Place marinated chicken on the tray/grill. Bake/grill for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway and basting with oil/butter, until chicken is cooked through and charred at edges.
