Hi. I am 12 years old and I made this recipe all by my self two times including today, and all my family appreciated it! Thank you for such a great recipe! It was soo nice even if I dint have to some ingredients! Looking forward to more recipes like this!

[sherliq]

I have tried SOOOO many recipes for tandoori chicken and it always came out flavorless. This recipe is absolutely spot on and delicious! I am in the US so I cooked this on indirect heat on a gas grill for 40minutes (flipping every 10 min) and basted with ghee instead of butter. I also only marinated for 4 hours and it was perfection. Thank you for this recipe!!!!

This was the best grilled chicken I've ever had, and I only did the 2nd marinade for a couple hours before grilling it on a charcoal grill. I did add a couple teaspoons ground coriander, and didn't have the mace or fenugreek leaves. Absolutely awesome!! Made a mint coriander yogurt chutney on the side to dip. I also subbed the hung curd for greek yogurt.

Made it today. It was surprisingly juicy. I did add coriander powder to the marinade and garnished with chaat masala and lemon juice. Also had sliced onion with green chutney on the side.

I'm 17 and I cooked something for the first time for my parents. They loved it and were proud of me! Thank you so much for such easy and delicious recipes 💘

Best cook on you tube, straight forward cooking demonstrations.

My husband loved it. I love it too. I am making it for the second time today. One of my criterions for a “keeper” recipe is that it must heat up well! It heats up wonderfully in the air fryer.

I've already commented on this once after making the recipe twice and now I'm commenting after making it so many times that I've lost count. This is one of our favourite recipes at home! Every time I make this my husband says I never want to eat the tandoori chicken from restaurants anymore. It's so tender and juicy and soft. Thank you once again!

[deepankarjana]

I made this exactly the same way and it turned out to be the best tandoori chicken I have ever made.
Fantastic recipe and way of showcasing the cooking. ❤❤

[arulkumar]

[gstwe]

Thank you so much for this incredible recipe! I made it once with skinless whole legs and once with skin on chicken whole legs and they both taste so good! Had to increase the cook time because the quantity was higher. 15 mins instead of 10 mins! So yummy. Will go into my favourites list. Loving your channel so much ❣️

Thank you so much for the recipe... I am a chicken lover. Now trying to loose weight so started cooking chicken at home and what else can be the best except chicken..
Followed your recipe and u will not believe it I did not add a single drop of oil in it or butter greasing still the chicken was so yummy and juicy. Put up a story of my oil free chicken and I now people wants to taste this version.
Highly recommended to everyone...

Tried out this recipe today in the air fryer. And it was delicious! 5 stars for this simple method of making something so delicious at home! Loved it. Loved making it, and eating it and getting all the compliments as chef!

[jackieasiyo]

Just love how well documented the procedures are in the description box. I don't have to keep pausing and rewinding the video as I follow along but rather I can just read from the description. Keep up the good work! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[adilshaikh]

Well its an amazing recipe have tried it today and its yummy, just as an add on you can give it a smoky aroma by keeping a hot piece of coal with desi ghee in the marinade bowl.

[susindran]
