A quick and easy roast chicken recipe full of smoky Indian spices.

This recipe I adapted from one of Maddhur Jaffrey’s books Quick & Easy Indian Cooking. Maddhur Jaffrey is the person who is credited with introducing Indian cuisine to western audiences. Her recipes are tailor made to the American kitchen, so if you have never before made Indian food at home yourself, her books are a great place to start.

Although the recipe in the book is a grilled chicken recipe, I changed the cooking method to roasting. I love making Roast Chicken. It is one of the easiest ways to get dinner on the table. You can switch it up by using different spice blends like my Persian Roast Chicken here or Harissa Roast Chicken. Other than that, there were only a few slight alterations to the original recipe.

…and don’t forget to check out the video before for Masala Roast Chicken + VIDEO so you can see how quickly and easily this recipes comes together!

Serve with Basmati rice and Green Lentil Dal.

This chicken came out so tender.  Even the chicken breast pieces which can become quite dry when baked. The yogurt is a great tenderizer, leading to a flavorful tender chicken.
