TANDOORI CHICKEN


INGREDIENTS
2 Lbs of Chicken legs & thighs (bone in and skin on)1 1/2 Tablespoons of plain Yogurtthe juice of 1/2 a lemon (I was out of lime that day!)1 teaspoon of Salt1/2 a teaspoon of Pepper1 1/2 Tablespoons of Tandoori Masala Mix (mine was from NGR Products and contains: Coriander, Cumin, Black Pepper, Chili, Bay Leaf, Ginger, Fenugreek, Mustard, Salt, Garlic, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Onion, Cloves, Mace, Citric Acid, and colors E-124&E-102 to give it that unnatural red look…next time I will try to find one without added coloring!)a few Green Onions - optionalcooking oil in spray form
DIRECTIONS
Place the chicken legs and thighs in a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients to the bowl and then use a wooden spoon to combine them until all the chicken is coated.Place the chicken in a bag to marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
While you preheat the oven to broil (grill), let the chicken sit on the counter top. Make sure you have a wire rack at the highest level in your oven. Once the oven has reached full temperature, remove the wire rack with an oven mitt, close the oven, hold it away from you, and spray the rack with cooking oil. For those you don’t have a cooking oil sprayer, you can get one here, or you can probably achieve the same (yet messier) affect by brushing the oil on the rack with a brush.Return the rack to the top location in your oven and place the chicken on it. Broil for 10 minutes, then turn, and broil for another 10 minutes.Layer on some green onions, let them grill for 2-3 minutes, then turn them and grill another 2 minutes.Remove the chicken from the oven and serve.
