Prep Chicken: Use a sharp knife to make 2-3 cuts from skin to bone

Marinate: In a bowl large enough to fit the chicken, combine all the ingredients listed under Tandoori Marinade. Toss the chicken pieces to coat, making sure to get in the cuts and crevices (I use kitchen gloves to do this). Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, up to 48 hours (the longer the better!). When ready to prepare, take out of the fridge and allow to come closer to room temperature.

Preheat + Prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place a baking rack on the parchment or aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Lightly grease the rack with baking spray. (If you don’t have a rack, lightly grease the parchment paper or aluminum.) Place the leg quarters meat side up on the baking sheet/rack. Reserve the excess marinade.

Bake + Broil: Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the pieces midway, until cooked through (165°F/73.9°C). Turn on the Broil Function to High (550°F/288°C). (If you don’t have a broil function, turn it to the highest heat setting.) Remove the chicken from the oven and flip the chicken once again so the meaty side is on top. Brush/baste the remaining marinade over the chicken pieces. Place back in the oven and broil for 4-5 minutes, until lightly charred (timing will depend on your oven). If not charred within 6 minutes (mine is usually not), move your oven rack on the top shelf so it’s close to the heat source

Air Fry: Spray chicken with cooking spray, preheat air fryer to 380, air fry for 18-22 minutes or until crispy and slightly charred

Grill: Preheat grill to 450 & lightly oil/spray, place chicken on grill for 4-5 minutes, then rotate and repeat for another 4-5 minutes until slightly crispy on outside. Lower grill temp to 375-400 and cook for 20-30 minutes, rotating halfway through. Ensure chicken is charred and crispy (and fully cooked)
