Directions
- It’s Marination time now –
- Wash & clean the Chicken

- Put them in a bowl
- Mix up and cover and put in the fridge for about 4 hours. You can do 1 hour too, but the more time, the better the marination.
- While the chicken is getting marinated, let’s put our brains on how to make it now.
- Well, I have these options; in case you have another one please do let me know in the comments. I’d be happy to try them out, too 😀 The options I have used to cook it are –
- Gas / Electric Grill / Barbecue Grill / Air fryer / Oven too (though it comes out a bit dry!!)
- Today we prepared in a frying pan, so let’s get cooking. I will share the method for Air Fryer Electric Grill and BBQ Grill too.
- Heat the pan and drizzle some oil or ghee
- Place the chicken pieces
- Cook on medium heat for 5-7minutes
- Flip and cook the other side
- Flip again after 5-7minutes
- Do Not Cover & Cook
- After about 20 – 22minute —— Voila – Juicy & Tender Tandoori Chicken is ready …
- Sprinkle some Chaat masala & Lemon Juice (optional, but this definitely enhances the taste)
- Serve this delicious meal with your favorite dip/chutney. Eat it just like that or with Rice, Naan, Chapati, or Bread ??
