A "tandoor" is a hole dug in the ground, and then surrounded by hot coals to create an oven. One of the most well-known international chicken dishes was created in this type of Indian oven! Now you can make classic Tandoori Chicken too, but without all the traditional steps; just use your oven! Our Tandoori chicken recipe is an easy way to enjoy exotic flavors that will bring your normal chicken dinner some much needed spice. 

What You'll Need

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
  • 8 drops red food color
  • 1 chicken (3- to 3-1/2 pounds), cut into 8 pieces

What to Do

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
     
  2. Place all the ingredients except the chicken in a medium-sized bowl; mix well. That's a lot of flavor in one easy sauce!

You forgot to mention that it needs to be marinated at least 1 hour but best if overnight, also you can add some chopped up serrano peppers to marinade. Garnish and serve with lemon or orange wedges.
