The chicken tandoori is a very typical dish of Indian cuisine, basically consists of a chicken that is marinated with yogurt and many spices such as turmeric, coriander, cumin, garam masala and paprika.

The cooking of tandoori chicken is done in a special Indian oven called tandoor oven, but as we do not have that option, we will use our home oven, it is just as delicious and juicy.
