Chicken Tandoori is a perfect party starter. Check the article to know How to make tandoori chicken in microwave convection oven.
Tandoori Chicken – The name itself is enough to make any Indian chicken lover drool. The prefectly roasted flavorful chicken which is marinated in Indian spices. It’s a perfect party starter. You can prepare this finger licking starter using the basic ingredients. Here is the recipe that you can bookmark as this is a tried and tested recipe. After a lot of hit and trial and unsuccessful attempts to make that perfect Chicken Tandoori and finally, I succeeded. Read the post to know how you can get that char too while cooking Tandoori Chicken in the convection oven.
How to make tandoori chicken in microwave convection oven at home:
Most of us order Tandoori Chicken from restaurants thinking it’s healthy because it is grilled. But actually, they add an insane amount of oil at the time of marination which makes it quite unhealthy. Therefore, it’s always good to prepare it at home and you can have the full control of what goes in it. I haven’t used any food color. The Kashmiri red chili powder gives a good color to this tandoori murg. You can serve Tandoori chicken with mint yogurt chutney or regular green coriander chutney along with some onion slices or a mix veg kachumber salad.
I have tried both the methods of double rounds of marination and single too and felt the results are almost the same. The time of marination is the key to make perfect chicken tandoori (More the merrier :P) 5-6 hours of minimum marination or overnight marination works best. So, plan and prepare this yum tandoori chicken at home. After cooking the chicken in the convection mode I grill them for 5-6 minutes to get the char. The convection mode cooking helps in retaining the juiceness of the chicken pieces which is missing if you only grill it. You can also cook it on Tawa, if you don’t have oven or microwave and it will taste good too.
