Instruction to make this Tandoori Chicken Recipe

1. Put the chopped onions, garlic or shallots, ginger, and lemon juice into a blender or food processor and blend to a smooth paste.
2. Place the paste in a bowl large enough to hold the marinade and the chicken you are working with.
3. Add in the yogurt, your spices (coriander, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, mace, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, salt, pepper, Kashmiri chilli, and food coloring) and stir it all together with a whisk.
4. Now, remove the skin from your chicken breasts and cut each one in half.
5. Slash the chicken breasts halfway down to the bone to let the marinade sink in.
6. Put the chicken into the marinade and rub it in well, making sure you get the marinade into the slashes.
7. Place the chicken into the marinade, cover it tightly, and place it into the fridge for 24 hours.
8. If you are working with a tandoor oven, light it. When the tandoor is up to about 750 degrees you are ready to cook. For a regular BBQ Chicken, light it and get ready to grill.
9. If cooking in a tandoor, oil your skewers and thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers. Stick half of a large peeled onion on the end of the skewers that ought to keep the chicken in place and prevent it from falling off the skewers.

Time to cook and care to get the best results

1. Place the skewers into the tandoor and angle them so that they’re leaning against one side of it. Partially cover the tandoor to keep the heat in and cook for 10 minutes, occasionally rotate the chicken skewers so that the chicken cooks on all sides.
2. Check after 10 minutes, if it’s not cooked through give it a few more minutes. At this high heat, it doesn’t take too long before things are done.
3. Lift the cooked chicken skewers out of the tandoor and slide the chicken off the skewers, garnish with chopped cilantro, pickled onions, and lemon wedges.
