Tandoori Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken legs
• oil (for basting)
• 1 lime (cut into wedges)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon ginger (finely minced)
• 1 teaspoon garlic (finely minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoons oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (or to taste, optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• red coloring (optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Clean the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Mix all the Marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine well. Add the chicken to the marinade and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 4 hours.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the chicken on the wire rack. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the chicken over and bake for an additional 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Using a small brush, baste both surfaces of the chicken with oil a couple of times during baking. Broil the chicken for 1 minute, or until the skin is slightly charred. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with lime wedges.
