Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian dish that originated in the Punjab region. Traditionally, the chicken is cooked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven, which gives the dish its unique smoky flavor. In this recipe, we bake the chicken in the oven to achieve a similar flavor. The yogurt-based marinade tenderizes the chicken and adds a tangy taste that balances the heat of the spices. Tandoori chicken is a great option if you want to spice up your dinner menu.

2.Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat well.
3.Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to overnight.
4.Preheat the oven to 425°F.
5.Line a baking sheet with foil and oil the foil.
6.Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
