INGREDIENTS

  • Marinade

    • 🍋 ½ lime, juiced
    • 🥛 1 ½ tablespoons plain yogurt
    • 1 ½ tablespoons tandoori masala powder
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • Protein

    • 🍗 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

STEPS

1

Whisk lime juice, yogurt, tandoori masala powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour this mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

3

Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry using more paper towels.

4

Grill chicken on the preheated grill with the lid open for 2 minutes. Close the lid and continue grilling chicken for 6 minutes.

5

Turn chicken, close the lid and grill until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 180°F (82°C).
