Absolutely! It's actually MIL's recipe, and DH grew up eating this.

Tandoori Chicken

Ingredients:
8 leg/thigh chicken pieces cut in half (making 8 drumsticks and 8 thighs)
extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon (juice of)
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
10 tsp. tandoori spice mix (Rajah brand)
4 tsp. crushed garlic
8 tsp. crushed ginger
1 cup plain yogurt


Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cut fat off of chicken and place in large bowl.
3. Add one turn of olive oil, juice of one lemon, and chili powder.
4. Mix together and marinate for 20 minutes.
5. Add tandoori spice mix, crushed garlic, crushed ginger, and yogurt. Mix everything together.
6. Spray baking pan(s) with cooking spray (such as Pam).
7. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Turn chicken over and bake another 15 minutes.

Personal Notes:
1. The tandoori spice mix can be found in Indian grocery stores. There's different companies that make this spice mix, but Rajah brand tastes the best IMO. It comes in a small canister (not in a box).
2. I don't buy the garlic or ginger already crushed. I usually put a bunch of garlic cloves and small pieces of ginger in a mini-chopper with enough water to grind it into a puree or liquidy paste.
3. Full-fat plain yogurt works and tastes best, but I tend to use lowfat, plain yogurt to save calories.
4. Normally DH would bbq or grill the chicken, but it's too cold outside so this is how I make the chicken in the oven.
5. If I'm not in a rush, I marinate the chicken in the fridge for an hour before popping it in the oven.

Enjoy!
