Tandoori Chicken (Thighs & Legs) & Roasted Potatoes

Servings: 8-10 people


 Ingredients:

  • 11 whole chicken legs (each cut into 2 pieces: thigh and drumstick)
  • 3 tablespoons yogourt
  • 3 tablespoons tandoori chicken masala
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (or according to your taste)
  • For sprinkling need an extra 2 teaspoons tandoori chicken masala

Directions:

Place BBQ cuts into each piece of chicken and place into a big bowl.

Mix all the spices and yogourt in a separate bowl. Then pour this mixture into the bowl with the chicken, and cover each piece of chicken with this mixture, with hands. Then place in the fridge overnight or leave in there for at least 6 hours.







Take a deep big baking tray (so that no piece is over lapping others, all are on the same level). Sprinkle the tandoori chicken masala on all the pieces and cover it in foil, and bake at 350 degrees in the oven (on the middle rack) for 1 hour. Then loosen the foil and cook for another 15-30 minutes.

In another baking tray (or same one if theres room), cut potatoes into 1 inch pieces, mix the following spices salt, black pepper, red chili powder and cumin powder. As well as olive oil. Cook this alongside the chicken.

When they are done and you see water in the tray, then take out all the chicken in a serving dish, and warm the baking dish on the stove and dry out the water, you will be left with a thick sauce, so pour this onto the chicken.

If you do not want the sauce, then you can increase the temperature to 400 and dry the water.

Note: If you would like to warm it again for serving, then cover the baking tray with foil and put in the oven at 200 degrees for 25 minutes.
Ready to serve.

Note: If you want to BBQ them instead, place the chicken pieces on the grill on low heat and close the lid of the BBQ for 10 minutes, then flip all the pieces and cover again for 10-15 minutes, do this process for 1 hour. Then put all the pieces into a baking dish and put this baking dish into the oven at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. (If the chicken looks dry after taking them off the BBQ, then cover the baking dish with foil before putting in oven). And your delicious BBQ chicken is ready to serve.
