Time 16h45m

Number Of Ingredients 25

3 ounces plain Greek yogurt ((85g))
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons garlic ((minced))
2 tablespoons fresh ginger ((grated))
2 teaspoons oil
2½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground Indian red pepper ((you can use cayenne or even Korean red chili powder in a pinch))
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds ((or coriander powder))
1 tablespoon freshly ground cumin seed ((or powder))
¾ teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1½ teaspoons garam masala
6 chicken leg quarters ((cut into drumsticks and thighs))
1 cucumber ((sliced))
1 medium red onion ((sliced))
Cilantro for garnish ((you can also use parsley))
3 cups dry basmati rice ((585g))
3 tablespoons oil ((or butter or ghee))
3 teaspoons cumin seeds
6 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 teaspoons salt ((or to taste))
1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Mix all of the marinade ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut slits into the chicken pieces; this will allow the marinade to really get into the chicken. 3 slits per drumstick and 4 to 5 per thigh should do the trick.
  • Usually, Tandoori Chicken calls for the skin to be removed, but I left it on because you want that crispy chicken skin (obviously). You can decide for yourself, but be aware that skin-on chicken is more prone to flare-ups when grilling. You'll have to watch the chicken more closely while it's on the grill and flip the pieces more often to avoid hot spots--all reasonable trade-offs for some extra flavor!
  • Place the chicken in a large dish. Spread the marinade all over the chicken and let marinate at least 12 hours, but not more than 2 days. We marinated our chicken for 16 hours, and even more marinating time wouldn't have hurt!
  • Be sure to take the chicken out of the refrigerator 3 to 4 hours prior to grilling, so the chicken can come to room temperature--kind of like how you never want to grill a cold steak. This is an important step since there will be marinade on the chicken, and it will burn if the chicken is left too long on the grill because its internal temperature is too low.
  • This is a good time to make your Indian-style jeera rice. We've measured out enough rice here to take down all of the chicken, but feel free to make more or less. Wash the rice thoroughly and drain into your cooking vessel. Cover with water and allow to soak for 20 minutes.
  • While that's happening, heat your oil/butter/ghee in a saucepan. When it's melted, add the cumin seeds, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Let the spices infuse the oil for 2-3 minutes. After the rice has finished soaking, drain it thoroughly and add it to the spice mixture. Sauté the rice in the pan for about 2 minutes, and transfer to a rice cooker. Add the salt and water (according to your rice cooker directions), and press Start. If you're not using a rice cooker, use our directions for perfect stovetop rice.
  • Now it's time to cook the chicken. Start your grill, and keep it covered until it reaches 500 degrees.
  • Shake off the excess marinade before placing the chicken on the hot grill. Cook with the grill covered, but stay close to watch for excess smoke, a sure indicator that your chicken is charring!
  • Turn the chicken as often as needed to prevent burning and keep the grill cover on so the chicken cooks through quickly. Our chicken took about 45 minutes, and we did have to turn and move the chicken pieces often.
  • The chicken is done when the juices run clear when poked or, better yet, use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature near the bone. The optimal temperature for chicken is 165 degrees F.
  • For the rice, during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time, add the frozen peas and stir thoroughly. Let the rice reheat. Serve the chicken with the rice, sliced fresh cucumbers, sliced red onion, and cilantro.

GRILLED TANDOORI CHICKEN

Categories     main-dish

Time 54m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (4 to 4 1/2 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces, skin removed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped ginger
1 teaspoon finely chopped serrano or jalapeno pepper, stem and seeds removed
1 tablespoon paprika
11/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • With a fork, prick holes in the chicken pieces. Using a knife, cut diagonal slices 1-inch apart, and 1/2-inch deep into the larger pieces. Place the chicken in a baking dish.
  • In a blender, combine the oil, onion, garlic, ginger, pepper, and process on high speed to a paste. Add the paprika, salt, cumin, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, and cayenne, and process until well blended. Add the yogurt and lemon juice, and process to a smooth sauce, scraping down the sides to combine all the ingredients. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn to coat evenly, rubbing the marinade into the holes and slits. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Preheat a grill.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on the first side. Turn, baste as needed, and cook on the second side for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn and continue cooking, as necessary until the chicken is cooked through, but still tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. (Alternately, bake in a preheated 425 degrees F oven on a baking sheet for 35 minutes.)

Categories     30-Minute Meals

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup (5 ounces) Greek yogurt (I used 0% fat)
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
4 to 5 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon paprika (I used smoked paprika)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional and to taste
1 to 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used breast tenders which cook very quickly to save time)
about 2/3 cup (6 ounces) Greek yogurt (I used 0% fat)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely minced for garnishing, optional

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a gallon-sized ziptop bag, seal, and squish the chicken around to coat it well and evenly. Place bag in the fridge and marinate for at least 30 minutes (if you can plan ahead and marinate overnight, even better).
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from the bag using tongs and place it on the grill; discard the bag and extra marinade. Grill chicken on each side for about 4 to 5 minutes or until done. Because I used breast tenders, they cook very quickly, in about 8 minutes total. Large breasts will take longer to grill. After chicken is done, set aside to rest. While it rests, make the dipping sauce.
  • To a small bowl, add all ingredients except cilantro, and whisk to combine. Taste, check for seasoning balance and desired consistency, and if necessary add more salt, pepper, oil, honey, etc. to taste.
  • Optionally garnish the chicken with cilantro before serving it with the dipping sauce on the side. Chicken is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days; dipping sauce will keep airtight for up to 1 week in the fridge.
