Easy Tandoori Spice Blend

jump to recipe

One of my favorite South Asian recipes (and one of my parents favorite too!) is Tandoori Chicken. It’s got incredible flavor — the perfect blend of spice and comfort and traditionally cooked in a Tandoori oven. When I first came up with this recipe, I used this spice blend for my Air Fryer Tandoori Chicken Wings — SO GOOD. This spice blend is perfect for most any white meat — chicken drumsticks/breasts or thighs — or even pork ribs! All you have to do is mix the blend of spices together and when ready, add lemon juice, the ginger & garlic. You just rub it on whatever meat you’re cooking, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes and voila! So stinking good.
