Recipe
Bring bold Indian flavour to your kitchen with a masala chicken marinade that keeps cooking easy. We make our Tandoori Masala for Chicken so you can coat, cook and serve without extra prep. No egg, yoghurt, oil, or lemon needed.
Masala chicken marinade gives chicken its deep colour and warm spice from Indian-inspired seasoning. You get savoury flavour, gentle heat, and the kind of home-cooked taste that works with rice, chips, salad, wraps or flatbreads.
We make our version for real home kitchens. You do not need a long ingredient list or a mixing bowl full of yoghurt and spices. You take your chicken, coat it with the marinade, then cook it your way.
A ready-made dry marinade saves time and cuts mess. You skip measuring spices. You skip mixing pastes. You get straight to cooking.
Our Tandoori Masala for Chicken fits busy weeknights, family dinners and last-minute BBQ plans because it gives you:
You keep control of the portion size and the chicken cut. We handle the spice blend.
You do not need egg, yoghurt, oil, or lemon.
You can use this masala chicken marinade with boneless chicken thighs, chicken breast pieces, drumsticks, wings, skinless chicken legs and chicken skewers.
Chicken thighs give you the richest result and stay juicy with high heat. Chicken breast works well if you cut it into even pieces and avoid overcooking it.

Dry marinades need the right heat. If the pan or grill runs too hot, the outer spice layer can catch before the chicken cooks through.
