PAN-FRIED TANDOORI CHICKEN RECIPE

PAN-FRIED TANDOORI CHICKEN RECIPE 

Chicken Tandoori Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup Sour Cream
• 2 tbsp Tandoori Masala Spice
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 4 pcs skinless chicken thighs (**recommended to debone and cut to half, as this shorten cooking time)
• 1 tsp garlic powder **Optional
• 1 tsp onion powder **Optional
• Butter/margarine

Garnish:

• 1 lemon, cut into 6-8 wedges
• 2-3 tbsp cilantro, roughly chopped

Method:

Stir and mix all the wet and dry ingredients except the butter and chicken in a large mixing bowl. Then add chicken pieces and make sure all chicken are well coated. Cover bowl with a plastic wrap or transfer it into a Zip Lock bag , store in your fridge and let it marinate about about 12-24 hours.( I prefer to marinate it for about 24- 48 hours to let the flavors infuse into the chicken).

Melt butter (approx 1-2 tbsp) in a pan and pan fry the chicken over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes on each side, making sure chicken is cooked all the way through. You can brown the chicken a little for the charred flavor. Transfer cooked meat to a platter, sprinkle some Cilantro and garnish with Lemon wedges! Serve with Rice or Naan. I hope this will be a palatable dish to most! Enjoy!
