Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 300 grams, boneless and skinless
• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Tandoori masala - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic paste - 1 teaspoon
• Ginger paste - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Slider buns - 4 pieces
• Lettuce leaves - 4 pieces
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1 small, sliced
• Cucumber - 1 small, sliced
• Mayo - 2 tablespoons
• Chili sauce - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, tandoori masala, garlic paste, ginger paste, lemon juice, and salt to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
3. Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 200°C/400°F).
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
5. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into smaller pieces suitable for sliders.
6. While the chicken is resting, prepare the slider buns by lightly toasting them on the grill or in a pan.
7. Spread mayo on the bottom half of each slider bun and layer with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and cucumbers.
8. Place the sliced tandoori chicken on top of the veggies and drizzle with chili sauce if desired.
9. Cover with the top half of the slider bun and serve immediately.
