Marinated overnight, roasted in a real clay tandoor for a smoky, charred finish.
Tandoori chicken is one of the older methods in Indian cooking, and we still do it the traditional way at every location. The chicken is marinated overnight, then roasted in a real clay tandoor for a smoky, charred finish that a regular oven or grill can't really match. We use bone-in chicken for extra flavor and juiciness, which makes this a favorite for anyone who likes bold, fire-cooked food.
The marinade is house-made yogurt, garlic, ginger, and Kashmiri red chili, which gives the chicken its deep red color and a mild, smoky heat. The yogurt tenderizes the meat while the tandoor's high heat locks in moisture, so you get a charred outside and a juicy bite underneath. This dish is naturally gluten-free.
