Twice-Cooked Mock Tandoori Chicken

"Adapted from a recipe by Mark Bittman, as posted at Serious Eats by Joshua Bousel. http://tinyurl.com/bbms4u Bousel warns that this will probably not work well on a regular grill; the baked chicken is very soft and will likely fall into the coals. (Nutrition information is unreliable - much of the fat and calories will be left behind in the discarded marinade. Assuming 90% of the marinade is left behind, per serving: 417 kcal, 2 g carb, 33g protein, 30g total fat, 9.5g saturated fat, 13.5g monounsaturated fat, 6.5g polyunsaturated fat)"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F Place chicken in a single layer in a 13x9" baking dish, skin side up.
  • In a large skillet over medium flame, heat oil until it shimmers. Add onions, salt and pepper, and sweat onions until limp, translucent and just barely beginning to color, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook 2 minutes more, until very fragrant. Add coriander, cardamom, paprika, cumin and cayenne or chili (if using) and cook no more than 1 minute, until fragrant. Off heat, stir in yogurt, then pour over the chicken, spreading evenly. Cover with foil and bake 90 minutes, until chicken is barely cooked through. (May be refrigerated up to a day at this point; allow to cool slightly before storing the whole pan in the chill chest.).
  • Heat grill, grill pan or broiler to high. Remove chicken from yogurt sauce, scraping off any excess sauce. Grill, turning once or twice, until skin is crisp and charred and meat is heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature, with a side of cucumber raita.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
