Tandoori Rotisserie Chicken Recipe:
Ingredients:
Chicken:
- 1 whole chicken, spatchcocked (ask your butcher to prepare this for you)
- 1 cup full fat yogurt (or coconut yogurt)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons of a combined garlic and ginger puree
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (kashmiri if possible)
- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Magic Masala:
- 1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon deggi mirch powder (or paprika)
- 1 teaspoon Amchur (or lemon or lime juice)
Directions:
- Combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and spices, and mix well until you have a smooth, bright red marinade.
- Coat the chicken with the marinade on all sides and under the skin. Use roughly ½ a cup of marinade for a 2.5 lb bird. Transfer the marinated chicken to a bowl covered in plastic or a ziplock bag and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 3 days.
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Remove the chicken from the fridge, pat dry, and allow to come to room temperature.
- Season the chicken on all sides with 3 tablespoons of the magic masala until fully covered. Transfer to a sheet tray lined with a rack.
- Roast for 20-30 min, or until a thermometer registers 165F.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Garnish with an additional sprinkle of magic masala.
