Tandoori Chicken (Easy Oven Recipe)
My easy tandoori chicken recipe has a simple spiced yogurt marinade and skillet-to-oven method for juicy meat, crispy skin, and warm flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
In a large bowl, add the marinade ingredients and stir until combined.
Add chicken to the marinade bowl and coat the chicken on all sides. Cover with plastic wrap. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or overnight if you have time.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
In a large cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken legs. Cook for about 5 minutes, flip and cook for about 5 minutes more, until chicken is browned.
Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for an additional 25-35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (time will vary depending on the size of your chicken legs). For the juiciest results, cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees F (recommended for juicy dark meat).
