Tandoori Chicken

- Yogurt 250 ml 158 cal
- Tandoori Masala Paste 4 tbsp 45 cal
- Ghee 75 grams 537.5 cal
Method :
1.
2.
Using a sharp knife or scissors, remove the skin from the chicken and trim off any
excess fat. Using a fork, beat the flesh at random.
3.
Cut the chicken in half down the center and through the breast. Cut each piece in half
again. Make a few deep gashes diagonally into the flesh.
4.
Mix the yogurt with the masala paste and salt. Spread the chicken evenly with the yogurt
mixture, spreading some in to the gashes.
5.
Leave for at least 2 hours but preferable overnight. Preheat the oven to its hottest setting.
Place the marinated chicken quarters in a wire rack in a deep baking tray.
6.
Spread the chicken pieces with any excess marinade, reserving a little for basting halfway
through the cooking time.
7.
Melt the ghee and pour over the chicken quarters to seal the surface. This helps to keep
the center of the chicken moist during the roasting time.
8.
Cook in the oven for 10 minutes at the maximum heat, then remove, leaving the oven
switched on.
9.
Baste the chicken pieces with the remaining marinade. Return to the oven and switch off
the heat.
10.
Leave the chicken in the oven for about 15-20 minutes without opening the door. Serve on
a bed of lettuce and garnish with the lemon and onion rings.
