Ingredients

Chicken Breast – 1lb
Chicken thighs – optional
Yogurt – 1 tbsp (should be enough, if not, add 1/2 tbsp more)
GG paste – 1 tsp
Oil – 1 tbsp for marination and 1 tbsp for cooking
Salt – to your taste

Directions

It’s Marination time now –
Wash & clean the Chicken
Slice it in half. Try and do it from the middle
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 ??
