Instructions
Make the Marinade
In a large bowl mix together yogurt, tandoori spice mix, lemon juice, garlic paste, salt, and oil until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Coat the Chicken
Score the chicken drumsticks with a knife making 2 to 3 cuts on each piece. This helps the marinade penetrate deeply. Add chicken to the marinade and coat thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Bake the Chicken
Preheat oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Place chicken on a lined baking tray. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes flipping halfway through until chicken is cooked through and edges are slightly charred.
Rest and Serve
Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve with sliced cucumber, mint chutney, and soft naan bread. Kids love dipping the chicken in yogurt sauce.
