Tandoori chicken

This is for all the chicken buffs out there. Tandoori chicken needs no introduction and it's one of the easiest chicken recipes. Here's my version:


Chicken Legs - 6

For the rub:

Red chili powder - 1 tbsp
Salt
Cumin powder - 1 tbsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Tandoori masala - 1 tbsp
Yogurt - 2 tbsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Red food color - a pinch (Optional)

Marinate the chicken with the masalas above, and leave the marinate on for a couple of hours.
If you are grilling, cook these on the grill for about 7 to 8 min on each side.
In the oven, preheat to 425F and layer them in a single line on an aluminium foil.
Bake for 15 min on each side and turn half way.
Check for doneness and cook till the chicken is cooked all the way through.

Serve with lime wedges and garnish with cilantro
