Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto-Friendly Tandoori Chicken
- Rub salt, black pepper, and lime juice on chicken thighs. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne until smooth. Coat each thigh with marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Prepare your oven. Position the rack to the center if using a broiler. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) if broiling isn't an option.
- Remove chicken from marinade and lay thighs flat on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Cook chicken in the oven or under the broiler for about 15-20 minutes until slightly charred, then flip and cook for an additional 10 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with basmati rice, naan, or salad.

Notes
Ensure the chicken is well-coated in marinade for maximum flavor. Use a thermometer to check for doneness. Bone-in chicken thighs can enhance flavor but may require longer cooking times.
