Tandoori-Style Crispy Chicken Thighs
Ingredients:
200g Chicken thighs (boneless and skinless for higher protein-to-fat ratio)
Marinade: 2 tbsp Plain Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp Tandoori masala (or a mix of paprika, cumin, coriander, and turmeric), 1 tsp Garlic-ginger paste, 1 tsp Lemon juice, 1/2 tsp Salt.
1 tsp Oil (for the pan)
Instructions:
Marinate: Combine yogurt, spices, lemon juice, and salt. Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (the yogurt tenderizes the meat).
Sear: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan, shaking off excess marinade.
Cook: Cook for 5–6 minutes per side. You want the edges to look slightly "burnt" or charred to replicate a tandoor oven effect.
Rest: Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing to keep the internal juices from escaping.
