Tandoori Chicken is a popular Indian dish that is usually prepared in a tandoor oven. This recipe allows you to make restaurant-quality Tandoori Chicken easily at home without a tandoor oven. The chicken pieces are marinated in a flavorful mixture of yogurt and spices, which helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Baked in the oven, the chicken turns out moist and tender with a crispy and flavorful outer layer.

4.Cover and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
5.Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the chicken on the sheet, leaving space between each piece.
6.Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of each piece reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
