Tandoori Spiced Chicken Breast
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons tandoori masala powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon amchur powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup whole-milk buttermilk
Instructions
1
Combine the aromatic blend of tandoori masala, onion powder, garlic powder, ginger, amchur powder, and a touch of heat from cayenne pepper in a bowl. Gently coat the chicken breasts with this flavorful mixture, ensuring an even distribution. Next, dip the seasoned chicken into a bowl of buttermilk, allowing it to absorb the creamy liquid. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together.

To bring out the best in this dish, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove the chicken from its marinade and arrange it artfully on a greased or lined sheet pan. Discard any excess marinade, as you don't want it to interfere with the cooking process. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven until it reaches a safe internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), indicated by an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center. This should take around 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
