To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook Oven-Roasted Tandoori-Inspired Jerk Chicken using 16 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
I like using yogurt in chicken marinades. With the right proportions and marinating periods, it subtly tenderizes meat and enhances its natural flavor, texture and juiciness without imparting any yogurt flavor.
The acid and cultures also help marinade penetrate more quickly and effectively, seasoning the flesh to the bone without creating that brined-like cured texture that often occurs when meat is left to sit in a salty solution for a long time.
It's similar to the result you get with buttermilk, but more efficient because the lower liquid content reduces the amount of seasoning needed and also lessens the amount of liquid uptake into the protein that can, counterintuitively, cause an internal steaming effect during cooking that can actually ultimately result in a drier and/or spongier texture to the meat.
You can grill this chicken low and slow as you would any other Jerk Chicken preparation, but sometimes the oven is just easier, so I added some liquid smoke to the marinade and did a high heat roast (450F) instead. Not tandoor-level heat by any stretch - they can get up to about 900F if I recall correctly - but it produces a pretty tasty and consistent result.
My recipe is adapted from a Saveur Jerk Chicken recipe, but you can modify your favorite Jerk recipe by adding 1/2 a cup of yogurt, 1 tsp of kosher salt, and 1 tsp of sugar.
Cook time: 15 mins prep, 6 to 24 hrs to marinate, 60 mins to cook
Ingredients and spices that need to be Prepare to make Oven-Roasted Tandoori-Inspired Jerk Chicken:
- 10-12 bone-in, skin-on chicken drums and/or thighs, scored twice on the skin side, about 1/4" deep, 2 inches long, and about an inch apart
- For the marinade:
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons lime or lemon juice
- 5 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons dried thyme
- 4 teaspoons ground allspice
- 8 cloves garlic
- up to 8 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero chilies
- 5 green onions, cut into 2-inch segments
- 2 shallots, coarsely chopped
- 1 one-inch piece ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1-2 teaspoons liquid smoke
Instructions to make Oven-Roasted Tandoori-Inspired Jerk Chicken
- Place all the marinade ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. If you want to make extra dipping sauce, reserve 2/3 cup of marinade and set aside.
- With cooking gloves on (because of the habaneros), put chicken in a large mixing bowl or other container and pour the remainder of the marinade over it, mixing it gently but thoroughly to evenly season each piece.
A gallon Ziploc type bag is great for even marinating - specially if you lay all the meat in a single layer, suction all the air out of it, and lay it on its side in the fridge. Even then, you may wish to flip the bag halfway through the marinating time just to make sure. - Let chicken marinate for at least 6 and up to 24 hours.
- An hour before cooking, take the chicken out of the fridge and lay it in a single layer on either a sturdy sheet pan (not cookie sheet) with a grill rack over it (my preferred method) or on a broiler pan with slats, skin side up, and let it come up to room temp. I mention this often, but bringing your protein up to room temp results in a better outer sear, which results in more internal juiciness.
- 20 mins before cooking, preheat your oven to 450F. Put the chicken on the center rack of the oven & roast for 45 to 55 mins, depending on the size of your chicken pieces. The chickens I use are usually about 4 pounds, & their drums and thighs aren't all that big, so 45 mins was plenty for me.
If you buy drums & thighs in your typical supermarket pre-pack, it's likely that your chicken is bigger and will require somewhere between 50 to 55 minutes. - IF YOU'RE MAKING THE DIPPING SAUCE...
Preheat a small sauce pan to medium with a half Tbsp of oil in it, pour in the reserved marinade, bring to a gentle boil for 1 minute, then turn the heat down to medium low and simmer for another 3 or 4 minutes. Because that marinade hasn't touched chicken, technically you don't have to cook it for food safety purposes, but the caramelization and concentration of flavors that happens when you do this deepens and rounds out the sauce. - That's it! Enjoy. :)
Additionally you will find as your own experience and confidence grows that you will find yourself increasingly more frequently improvising while you go and adjusting meals to meet your own personal preferences. If you prefer more or less of ingredients or would like to make a recipe somewhat less or more spicy in flavor that can be made simple adjustments on the way in order to achieve this objective. Put simply you will start punctually to create snacks of your very own. And that is something that you may not of necessity learn when it has to do with basic cooking skills to novices however, you would never learn if you didn't master those simple cooking abilities.
