Chicken with mayonnaise in tandoor

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken with mayonnaise in tandoor? Prepare all the necessary products. Mayonnaise can be replaced with sour cream or you can make a sauce from sour cream and mayonnaise in a ratio of 50 to 50. You can take the whole chicken carcass or its individual parts. This time I used chicken thighs. Rinse the chicken and dry it with napkins to remove any remaining moisture.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the marinade. Place mayonnaise, pressed garlic and aromatic spices into a deep container. The set of seasonings can be anything you like. I used ground paprika, allspice and a pinch of salt. Mix everything thoroughly.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add mayonnaise to the chicken. Stir and leave to marinate for at least an hour. I sometimes leave it in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf overnight. The longer the bird is marinated, the tastier it will be.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place lard, cut into thin slices, on the bottom of the mold. You can omit lard from the recipe and use a little vegetable or olive oil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the onion in the mold.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place marinated chicken in an even layer on top.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat the tandoor. When the walls of the tandoor are thoroughly warmed up and there is a sufficient amount of coal left, proceed to the main stage of cooking.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the molds on a special rack.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place everything in the tandoor, cover with a lid and bake until done. Cooking time depends on the tandoor model and the degree of heat inside. It took me about 40-50 minutes for the chicken to cook completely. After 20 minutes of simmering in the tandoor, I swapped the ramekins so that the bird would cook evenly.
