  4. Drizzle over each strip of chicken
  5. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas mark 4
  6. Leave the chicken covered in the fridge to marinate while the oven heats up
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally so it cooks evenly

Serving suggestions

Add tandoori spices to the chicken and once cooked add fruits like pineapple or mango and serve with a cool yogurt and cucumber dip for an exotic twist.
