Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon garam masala*
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 large garlic clove, pressed
1 4- to 4 1/2-pound roasting chicken, cut into 8 pieces, backbone removed
2 small onions, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Mix yogurt, chopped cilantro, olive oil, garam masala, salt, and garlic in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add chicken to marinade, 1 piece at a time, coating all sides. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.
  • Position racks in top third and bottom third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Arrange onions in thin layer on large rimmed baking sheet to form bed for chicken. Top with chicken pieces in single layer, spacing apart for even roasting (chicken will still be coated with marinade). Discard remaining marinade.
  • Roast chicken on top rack until cooked through and juices run clear when thickest portion of thigh is pierced with knife, about 1 hour. Serve chicken atop onion slices. Spoon pan juices around.
  • An Indian spice mixture; available in the spice section of many supermarkets and at Indian markets.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken masala, but I decided to try this recipe because it looked so easy. I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I would definitely make this again.

This chicken masala is so good! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfect. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is always flavorful and creamy. I love serving this dish with rice and naan.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken masala turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce just didn't have any flavor. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this recipe.

This is the best chicken masala I've ever had! I've tried many different recipes, but this one is by far the best. The sauce is so rich and flavorful, and the chicken is cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again and again.
