Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Tandoori Chicken
  1. Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a large bowl. Generously rub salt and pepper over them, then drizzle fresh lime juice for added zest and tenderness. Let the chicken sit for about 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  2. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine yogurt with ground coriander, cumin, garam masala, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the marinade, coating each piece entirely. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours.
  4. Preheat your oven to 450°F or position your broiler's rack to the center.
  5. Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and place it on a lined and greased baking sheet.
  6. Broil the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F.
  7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
