Tandoori Chicken one of my favourite, i make it quite often. I have already shared a version of it in this blog. This is a updated version of it. I want to post a new post with new pictures..Last weekend i made it and took pics of it.. You can check out the other grilled chicken recipes ..
Tandoori chicken or any tandoori foods are incomplete without the delicious mint chutney on the sides..I have few version of mint chutney in this blog, like this and this. But the chutney which is served with tandoori foods are a lots more creamy. You can check the recipe of the mint chutney here.
I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you..
Preparation Time : 10 mins
Marinating Time : 6 hours or Overnight

Take chicken in a bowl, make deep slits on them. Add salt, chilli powder and lemon juice to them and mix well. Leave this aside for 30 mins.
Now take second marination ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour this over the marinated chicken and mix well.
Leave this to marinate for 6 hours or over night.
Next day, remove it and let it come to room temp.
Preheat oven to 250 Degree C.
Now place the chicken over a foil lined baking tray and pop it in oven for 5 mins, remove it and flip over, apply leftover marination over it if you have any and bake it for 5 more mins.Remove the tray from oven, apply ghee all over it.
Now reduce the oven temp to 160 degree C and bake it for 10 more mins.
Remove it and flip over and apply ghee all over it and bake it for 10 more mins.
Remove it and flip over and apply ghee all over it and bake it for 10 more mins.
Now remove it and set aside. Mean time, increase the oven temp to 250 degree C and set the mode to grill.
Place the tray near to the grill and cook it for 5 mins till you see some black spots over the chicken.
Remove it from oven, give a final glaze with ghee and sprinkle some chat masala over it.
Serve.

Hi Aarthi, your recipes are too good . Can you upload the recipe for eggless mayonnaise
@AnonymousCook it for Same temp and same timing in microwave convection mode..
Hi, Aarthi you said Preheat oven to 250C… then at wat temp we should bake? cos later you said increse your oven temp to 250C and grill…
@NisaSorry that is a typo.First you have to preheat oven to 220 degre C. Bake it at that..Later increase it to 250.
Am gonna try tis..
Am gonna try tis..
Awesome recipes. . Gonna try one by one.. thx alot for sharing. ..
Thanks for this recipe. Looks yummy. Excellent pictorial recipe. I have never seen recipe demonstration such like yours. Truly Aarti, I have stopped checking recipes from other blogs and sites. 😊👏
Wow aarthi it looks so good 2mrw I m Gng to try this I was searching for tandoor recipe this is wht I needed thand u so much!
Every thing went well until I placed chicken on a non- stick tawa. I backed for first 15min and took out the tawa to flip chicken pieces. There I see water at bottom of tawa and chicken became soft on that side. But I did not see any water in your tray and I used hung curd too. What went wrong ?
@MadhuIt depends on the chicken, it is not a issue, just keep on cooking. the water will dry out
Hi Aarthi,
Thanks for the recipe. The pics are simply mouthwatering. I needed one clarification though. Can you tell me the approx. weight of the chicken ? Should I use these ingredients for 1 or 1.5 kg chicken ? Let me know.
Doreen
@UnknownUse this for 1.5 kg
Is it safe to use on grill this black colour baking tray which is of round shape and comes along with microwave with a combi mode and secondly my convection mode is only for 200 c max heating
@AnonymousI am not sure about that..haven't used microwave so far
Great recipe this, thanks for sharing this.
Simon

Hi your dish looks so yummilicious but I was wondering that marinated chicken is kept in the fridge or freezer??
@Swapstore chicken in fridge
Hi can we omit chat masala? Will it taste good after omitting?
@smithichat masala gives the nice flavour to the chicken, you can leave it out if u want
Hi. Can I omit the butter and ghee in the end and replace with oil??
Hi arthi
can i use normal yogurt instead of unsour?
@Anonymousyes u can use normal ones
@reenayes u can use oil
@Aarthi
If you have convection mode on your microwave, you probably also have a grill mode. I put the chicken by itself on the high metal rack, so it sat just under the grill, and the black nonstick baking tray all the way at the bottom on top of the rotating glass plate to catch the drippings. Grill mode for 15 minutes on each side. The tandoori chicken turned out excellent!
Wow I tried this recipe last evening..I added fried besan before cooking and it turned out yummy…thanks fr your easy nd quick recipes.
Hi I do not have an oven but was wondering if I can pan fry the marinated chicken instead? Thank you!
@Chiminiepan frying is possible.u can cook it on a low heat till it is cooked
Hi aarthi,it is the first time I am commenting on anything like this.but I have to tell you..I tried this recipe and it came out great..keep doing this greatjob…I love your cooking…and I pretty much tried all your chicKen recipes..
In which mode this needs to be cooked on otg..? Grill or bake?
@ninu narendran you have to bake it
your recipe looks so delicious nd blog also very nice….. 🙂 !!!!
Can i cook this in charcoal grill instead of oven ?
Will it be the same taste when cooked on tawa ? I do not have microwave here? So will it not stick to tawa
Can I cook this grill or microoven
u need convection mode.
Can i fry this using a frying pan… I don't want to use oven thats why ? Is that possible.
yes u can use, but you have to cool it slow. so it gets cooked
Hi, I did in the same way, but it did not turn roasted at all.Please let me know where I went wrong?
Once it is cooked. place the rack on the highesy setting and grill it for few mins, so it will gets nice and charred
Sis if I reduce the temp to 160 c then the red light turns on and off sis and red roses are not heating up.only in 220 and 250 the red roses are heating up .
not sure. can you check with your dealer. it may be a fault in your oven
Yummy…. Thank you
