Oven Tandoori Chicken

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 6 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon garam masala
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 4 tablespoons lime juice, divided
• 2 teaspoons table salt
• 3 lbs chicken parts, bone-in but skin removed and excess fat trimmed away
• 1 lime, cut in wedges

1. Heat oil in small skillet until shimmering.
2. Add garlic and ginger and saute 1 minute or until fragrant.
3. Add garam masala, cumin and chili powder; saute another 1 minute or until fragrant.
4. Move half the mixture to a bowl and add yogurt and 2 tbsp lime juice.
5. In another bowl, combine remaining spice mixture with remaining lime juice and salt.
6. Lightly score skin side of chicken pieces with a sharp knife, making 2-3 cuts one inch apart and 1/8 inch deep.
7. Place chicken in bowl and toss with spices until coated.
8. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.
9. Place oven rack in upper-middle position and preheat to 325F Pour reserved yogurt mixture over chicken parts and toss until evenly but thickly coated.
10. Wrap a sheet pan with foil and place a wire rack inside.
11. Arrange chicken, scored side down, on rack.
12. Discard remaining yogurt mixture.
13. Bake chicken 15-25 minutes, until breasts register internal temperature of 125F and legs and thighs read 130F Watch carefully and remove pieces to a plate as they are done; smaller pieces may cook faster.
14. When all pieces are done, remove chicken from oven and turn oven up to broil; preheat a full 10 minutes.
15. Just before returning chicken to broiler, turn pieces scored-side up.
16. Broil until lightly-charred in spots and internal temperature is 165F for breasts, 175F for legs and thighs, 8-15 minutes.
