2-5 hrs
ingredients
3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces
salt, to taste
2 medium red onions, chopped
2 hot green chiles, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
directions
Remove the skin from the chicken. Poke the chicken pieces with a fork on all sides and sprinkle with salt.
Combine the red onion, green chiles, garlic, ginger, olive oil, vinegar, coriander, and cumin seeds in a blender or food processor. Process until it forms a smooth paste.
Place the chicken in a bowl or other container with a cover. Spread the paste evenly over the chicken pieces. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours (or up to 8 hours).
When ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium heat (or oven to 350 degrees F).
Place the chicken on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. If cooking in the oven, place the chicken on a broiler pan or rack in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F, turning occasionally. Cook time will be approximately 20-30 minutes. Always test for doneness with a meat thermometer.
Serve the tandoori chicken hot.
