Tandoori-Inspired Chicken and Cauliflower Traybake
Indian tandoori chicken inspired this six-ingredient meal on a baking sheet. We cut slashes into bone-in chicken parts to allow the seasonings to really work their way into the meat. Yogurt not only tenderizes the chicken, it gets the seasonings to stick and assists with browning. Garam masala is warm and sweet, whereas curry powder is savory and earthy; use whichever you prefer or have. Serve with basmati rice and/or warm naan.

Wife (not a big Indian food person) loved it and wants it again. . .
Very easy to make, very tasty. Drizzled the drippings over the chicken and rice. . perfect. 100% will make again. . and again. . .

Great
This was delicious and easy. I wanted some variety so I backed off the cauliflower and added carrot and onion. Veggies were a tad over but tasted great. I’ll marinate chicken in yogurt from now on!

Yummy and easy
We liked this! Skipped the 30 min marinating time because dinner was late, and the chicken was still very flavorful. Convection at 450 shortened the bake time.

Excellent chicken (for a party)
If you like to cook and eat Indian food, this recipe is a breakthrough. Easier than real tandoori, better than the commercial pastes. You have to line a big cookie sheet (or two) with aluminum foil. Depends on a good garam masala. Use both garlic and ginger. Cauliflower cooks too fast - start later.
