I like to use a really thick Greek yogurt for this so you get a generous layer of the marinade on the chicken which in turn changes to a "crust" when you cook it. Tandoori chicken is a lovely Indian chicken recipe which is characterised by the red colouring of the marinade and the creamy yet tangy flavouring of the yogurt. Although I got this recipe from my mum, I [.] Tandoori chicken gets its name from the bell-shaped tandoor clay oven which is also used to make naan, or Indian flatbread. Skinless legs and thighs are marinated in a tenderizing mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, and spices and the meat is slashed to the bone in several places helping the marinade penetrate and the chicken cook more quickly.

- Wash and pat dry drumstick pieces. Peel the skin off and make slits all over the chicken pieces

Cut deep incisions into the chicken flesh with a small, sharp knife. Place the chicken into a bowl and sprinkle over the salt and the juice of two lemons, massaging into the chicken until well. Traditionally, tandoori chicken is cooked with a whole bird that has been infused with flavour through a distinct two-stage marinading process. This involves using a wood burning clay oven that is cylindrical in shape and built into the ground. The tandoor oven is what gives this amazing dish its unique flavour, texture and smoky fragrance.
