Tandoori Chicken Bites

Tandoori Chicken Bites are a flavorful twist on a classic American appetizer, marinated in vibrant spices and yogurt for a tender, juicy texture. Perfectly bite-sized, these morsels are great for sharing and bursting with authentic Indian flavors.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams, diced into bite-sized pieces
• Plain yogurt - 100 grams
• Tandoori masala - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, tandoori masala, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, and salt to create the marinade.
2. Add the diced chicken breast to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the marinated chicken bites evenly on the tray.
5. Drizzle vegetable oil over the chicken bites to ensure they stay moist during baking.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro.
8. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or chutney.
