Tandoori-Inspired Chicken Kebabs

Tandoori-Inspired Chicken Kebabs

To get tandoori chicken flavor on a weeknight, we opt for a simple blender yogurt marinade and kebab skewers. These chicken kebabs come together in the oven; no need to open the grill.

Tandoori chicken traditionally is marinated for hours in yogurt and fragrant spices before it is cooked in a tandoor oven. Our weeknight-friendly, tandoori-inspired kebabs feature an easy marinade of yogurt, paprika, garam masala, cayenne and a few other aromatics. Just whirl everything in a blender, then combine with chunks of chicken. If you have time, marinate the chicken overnight, though even 30 minutes will go a long way to boost flavor and tenderize the meat. The marinade also helps the kebabs brown beautifully under the broiler. Serve with warm naan or basmati rice.
