Instructions to make Mex-Inspired Tandoori Chicken:
- Place all ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix and massage with your hands to thoroughly and evenly season each piece of chicken.
- Allow to marinate for at least 4 hours, and up to a full day, in the refrigerator, making sure to redistribute the chicken once or twice to ensure that all the seasoning gets evenly distributed again after the chicken and vegetable matter release liquid.
- An hour before cooking, take the chicken out of the fridge and lay the chicken out in a single layer, skin side down, on a lightly oiled broiler pan, or on a rack on a baking pan or sheet, to bring the chicken up to room temp.
- Preheat the oven to broil (this usually takes 20 minutes or so), then broil the chicken about 4 inches under the broiler element (yours may be under the oven or right under the top heat element of the main oven compartment) for 8 minutes per side, finishing this step with the skin side up.
- Turn the oven heat down to 425F and continue roasting the chicken on the middle rack for another 20 to 25 minutes.
- Serve on a platter with chopped green onions and cilantro sprinkled atop.
