Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken thighs, bone-in and skinless
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 tsp Garam masala
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make deep slashes in the chicken pieces to allow the marinade to penetrate.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, oil, and all the dry spices.

  3. 3

    Coat the chicken thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring it gets into the slashes. Marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a wire rack over a baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Arrange the chicken on the rack and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and charred on the edges.

  6. 6

    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving with sliced onions and lemon wedges.
