Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori Chicken

Course: Main Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 large free range chicken
  • Handful of salt

For the tandoori paste:

  • 4 tbsp tandoori spice mix
  • 2 tsp garam masala powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 500 ml natural yoghurt
  • 1 juice of lemon
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree

Instructions

  • Spatchcock the chicken and peel off the skin. With a sharp knife cut incisions into the chicken so the marinade can really absorb. Season chicken with salt.
  • In a bowl, mix all the tandoori mix together and then massage into the chicken. Leave for at least 24 hours.
  • Heat the grill to its highest setting. Preheat a griddled tray lined with foil and place the chicken under the grill or barbeque and cook for 45-50 minutes until cooked through. If flesh begins to burn turn heat down a little.
  • Leave to rest for 30 minutes then serve.
