Arvinda'S Tandoori Chicken
- 3 pounds chicken pieces (8-10 thighs, legs or breasts)
- oil for basting
- 1/2 cup plain thick yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Arvinda's Tandoori Masala
- 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon red food coloring (optional)
- 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped, to garnish
- In a large bowl combine yogurt, Arvinda's Tandoori Masala, lemon or lime juice, salt and red food coloring. Add chicken pieces and coat evenly. Cover bowl, refrigerate and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- Grill chicken on the barbeque until chicken has lost its pinkness. Baste with oil as needed. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with a flatbread and salad, or on a bed of rice.
- Baking option: Place marinated chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake in the center of a pre-heated oven at 375F, turning over to achieve even baking. Bake about 20 minutes or until chicken loses its pinkness and is slightly golden brown in color.
