About the recipe
The recipe is a simple chicken tangdi baked in the oven, which is juicy and can be used as a starter.
The chicken legs or drumsticks are marinated in spices and then placed in the oven, which come out well with a juicy texture.
The spices that go into making the tangri chicken are salt, chili powder, black pepper powder, cumin powder, ginger garlic paste, oil, yogurt, and dried fenugreek.
All these spices make the chicken taste more delicious and lift the flavors of the legs.
This is a very simple and easy recipe and can even be tried in a pan or tandoor, but having a tandoor at home is quite tricky, and making it in the oven gives a similar taste as being made in a tandoor.
Tips to make it in the oven
- The oven should be preheated at 380 ° F or 200 °C, which preheats the oven well, and then marinated chicken legs should be placed.
- The chicken drumsticks should be cooked for a couple of minutes up to around 25 minutes and then flipped and cooked for another 15 minutes.
- The chicken is juicy, tender at this temperature, and perfectly cooked.
- Following these tips makes the cooking process in the oven relatively easy.
- If cooked for a long time, the chicken makes it dry; therefore, following the proper steps is necessary for a perfect chicken.
- The temperature should be set correctly, or there are chances for the chicken to turn hard.
- Similar chicken recipes to be made in the oven are tandoori chicken in oven and oven biryani.
How to make them in a pan?
It can be done in two ways that are stir-frying or deep frying:
Stir-frying
- The chicken legs can be stir-fried in a pan by adding little oil in a nonstick pan and cooking them on all sides by sauteing and tossing for about 20-25 minutes.
- The outcome would be cooked if made in a non-stick wok or a pan if there is no option of tandoor or oven.
Deep frying
- The chicken legs should be deep fried in oil, which turns out delicious kababs and is juicy enough to be used as starters or served for special occasions.
How to serve these kababs or Tangri chicken?
The kababs can be served with various sauces or chutney ranging from mint chutney, coriander chutney, or any chutney dips.
These taste good just by eating plain and should be eaten while hot.
There are many ways the tangri kababs are made, and in restaurants, the standard method is to place them on the tandoor, or they are just deep fried.
I think the best way to make them at home is to make them in the oven.
