Mastering the Art of Char: Tandoori Chicken in a Pizza Oven
In short: Discover how to replicate authentic Indian flavors using a wood-fired pizza oven. This guide breaks down a traditional marinade technique to achieve that signature charred finish without the need for a professional tandoor.
Inspired by Anjum Anand's 'I Love India' cookbook, this method uses a yogurt-based marinade to tenderize 8 pieces of skinless chicken. Key ingredients include full-fat yogurt, mustard oil, ginger, and a blend of spices like garam masala, cumin, and cayenne.
The technique emphasizes deep penetration by cutting slashes into the meat down to the bone. After marinating for at least 4 to 5 hours—though overnight is preferred—the chicken is cooked over high heat. The goal is a specific balance: perfectly cooked through to the bone while maintaining slightly charred edges.
