Intro
This is one of my favourite ways to cook chicken legs and thighs. The combination of Indian spices, yogurt and lemon packs a massive punch. Easy, tasty and dinner guests will love it too. Serve it with rice, salad or whatever you like. Works really well with cucumber and fresh coriander raita.
What you need
- Yogurt (100ml)
- Curry Powder (table spoon)
- Tandoori Masala (table spoon)
- Chilli Flakes (tea spoon)
- 2/4 Garlic Cloves (finely grated)
- Fresh Ginger (thumb sized)
- Black Pepper (tea spoon)
- Mix of chicken drum sticks & thighs (3/4 of each)
- Lemon (grated and juice used)
How to do it
1) In a large bowl add all the ingredients apart from the chicken and mix well.
2) With a very sharp knife make a couple cuts in each piece of chicken.
3) Put the chicken in the bowl and mix very until chicken is coated in the paste.
4) Ideally leave in the fridge covered for 24hrs, but if you dont have that long 2hrs will work also.
5) Put in the oven 200 degrees and cook for 35/45mins until chicken is cooked through properly.
