Good To Know

Cooking Tips

  • Brush a little oil over the chicken before the final few minutes for a richer tandoori-style finish.
  • Make the cuts deep enough to reach the bone so the marinade seasons the meat all the way through.
  • Check that the thickest part near the bone reaches 75°C before serving.
