Ingredients
- Chicken: 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs cut into 1-inch cubes
- Yogurt: 1 cup of plain full-fat yogurt
- Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed from 1 large lemon
- Garlic: 4 to 5 cloves, finely minced
- Ginger: 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger
- Spices:
- 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons of ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1 teaspoon of red chili powder (adjust according to your taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala
- Salt: To taste
- Oil: 2 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil
- Optional: Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Fire: Build a campfire with a solid bed of hot coals. Avoid large flames to prevent charring the chicken.
2. Set Up a Cooking Surface: Place a portable grill rack, heavy-duty grate, or arrange flat stones over the coals to create a stable, even cooking surface.
3. Arrange the Skewers: Lay your marinated Tandoori Chicken Skewers on the rack, ensuring they’re not too close to the direct flames.
4. Rotate Regularly: Turn the skewers every few minutes to cook evenly. The skewers should take about 10-15 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, with no pink and clear juices.
5. Baste When Needed: Use a brush to apply extra marinade or oil during cooking to maintain moisture and enhance flavor.
Notes
Always keep a close eye on the heat and adjust the skewers’ distance from the fire as needed. Ensure the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature for food safety.
