Tandoori Chicken
About This Course
Tandoori Chicken is a vibrant, aromatic dish originating from the Indian subcontinent, featuring chicken pieces marinated in yogurt and a blend of spices (including garam masala, turmeric, and paprika) before being cooked in a traditional clay tandoor oven. The high heat of the tandoor seals in juices and imparts a subtle smoky flavor, resulting in tender, brightly colored chicken with a crisp, charred exterior. In this course, you will learn how to create the classic marinade, prepare the chicken correctly, and replicate the tandoori-style cooking method at home—whether using an oven, grill, or stovetop.
