Tandoori Chicken Skewers Recipes

TANDOORI-INSPIRED OVEN CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine yogurt, garam masala, lemon juice, lemon zest, grated ginger, and curry powder in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag.
• Slice each chicken thigh lengthwise into 3 or 4 slices, add to the bag with the marinade, and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and move an oven rack to the center of the oven. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Thread chicken thigh pieces onto six 15-inch metal skewers and place crossways across the prepared sheet pan, resting the ends of the skewers on the raised edges of the pan.
• Bake skewers in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Broil chicken skewers for 3 minutes until meat is lightly charred, watching closely.

TANDOORI CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Mix the chicken with the lemon juice and salt in a bowl. Cover the bowl and set aside in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally.
• In a food processor, combine the curry paste ingredients and blend to a smooth paste. Add the chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least 3hrs or preferably overnight. Remove the chicken from the fridge 30mins before cooking.
• Take the chicken pieces from the bowl and shake off as much of the marinade as possible.
• Thread onto skewers. Barbecue or grill for 8 to 10 mins, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked and slightly charred.
• Serve with chopped mango and spring onions.
