Healthy Sheet Pan Tandoori Chicken (The Best Recipe)
Author: 
Serves: Makes 8 Drumsticks
 
Adapted from SimplyRecipes
Ingredients
  • 8 chicken drumsticks* (See Note Below)
  • Marinade:
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt/Coconut yogurt (or 250g silken tofu)
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tbsp garam masala** (See Note Below)
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (if using silken tofu use 2 tbsp!)
  • 1¼ tsp salt
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp ginger, minced (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
Instructions
  1. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade together. (If using tofu, use a blender to make it smooth)
  2. Trim off the skin from the chicken. Cut 3-4 deep slashes into your chicken. Rub the marinade over. Cover and set aside in fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 400F.
  4. Lay the chicken on a baking tray, leaving enough space between each one. Bake for 45-60 minutes.
  5. Serve with extra lemon, yogurt, rice, greens and bombay potatoes.
Notes
*UPDATE: Tried this recipe with 2 - 3 large chicken breast instead. (Of course boned-in chicken tastes the best!)
1. Using a mallet/back of the knife, tenderize the chicken.
2. Dice the chicken into large cubes and marinate for 1 hour.
3. Bake at 350F for 15 or until just cooked. If you are not eating it right away, make sure to under bake the chicken so you don't overcook it!

**Garam Masala: This is a blend of spices commonly used in Indian Cooking. You can find this at some Asian Markets, Walmart, Target, Harmons or Amazon.
If you can't have find it a quick substitute in a pinch would be curry powder! You can also try to make your own blend with this recipe.
