Keto Tandoori Chicken

This tandoori chicken is marinated in yogurt infused with aromatic spices, before being oven baked until lightly charred on the outside but tender and succulent in the center.

The chicken needs to be marinated in the yogurt before cooking. This needs to be done for a minimum of two hours but is best done overnight.

The dish is perfect accompanied by our keto raita dip!

    All those sauces don’t stick around too well, you end up with a bland chicken. Doesn’t taste good.

        Really enjoyed it with a spicy yogurt side and some cauliflower rice.
