Keto Tandoori Chicken

This tandoori chicken is marinated in yogurt infused with aromatic spices, before being oven baked until lightly charred on the outside but tender and succulent in the center.

The chicken needs to be marinated in the yogurt before cooking. This needs to be done for a minimum of two hours but is best done overnight.

The dish is perfect accompanied by our keto raita dip!

Chicken Thighs Skinless Boneless by Sanderson Farms

6 thigh
Yogurt, Plain, Whole Milk

1 cup
Garlic

1 clove
Ginger Root, Raw

½ tablespoon
Lemon Juice

½ tablespoon
Cumin, Ground

½ teaspoon
Coriander by Gourmet Garden

½ tsp
Paprika

½ teaspoon
Chili Powder

½ teaspoon
Turmeric, Ground

¼ teaspoon
Lemon Peel

½ tablespoon
Black Pepper

⅛ teaspoon

Step 1

Add the yogurt to a mixing bowl along with the cumin, coriander, paprika, chilli powder, turmeric, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 1 clove of minced garlic, black pepper, lemon juice and the lemon zest. Mix together well to combine.
Step 2

Arrange the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour over the marinade.
Step 3

Using your hands, rub the marinade evenly all over the chicken, ensuring that it is completely coated. Cover tightly with saran wrap/cling and transfer to the fridge to marinate for a minimum of two hours.
Step 4

Once you are ready to cook, remove the chicken from the fridge and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 5

Sit a raised oven rack in a tray to catch any juices. Arrange the chicken pieces across the rack and spoon any remaining marinade over the chicken. Transfer to the oven to bake for 25 minutes then turn the chicken pieces over. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes or until the outside is lightly charred and the chicken is completely cooked through.

All those sauces don’t stick around too well, you end up with a bland chicken. Doesn’t taste good.
