Cornish Game Hen Tandoori

I love cornish game hen! It taste just like chicken only much smaller. This simple and bursting with flavor recipe is a friend's favorite for chicken skewers. Her recipe actually calls for more ingredients like minced garlic and ginger. Add those if you like but here's my modified version which taste just as yummy:

Ingredients:
2 cornish game hen (cut into halves)
2 tbsp coriander powder
2 tbsp tumeric powder
2 tbsp seasoned salt
1 cup plain greek yogurt or plain yogurt

Pinch of ground pepper

PUT EVERYTHING IN A ZIPLOC BAG  (better to put all the ingredients before chicken and you might need 2 ziploc bags if the chicken are slightly bigger than usual)

Massage marinade all over chicken

Let it sit overnight in the fridge or toss them in the freezer for next time

Cooking:

Heat oven to 400 degrees

Bake for 20 minutes

Reduce oven to 325 degree

Bake another 25 minutes

When chicken juice runs clear, change to BROIL HIGH for 7 minutes or until skin turn brown and crispy

Let chicken sit for 10 minutes. Serve with brown rice or my favorite couscous and millet, and grilled zucchini and squash. 

Super easy, quick, healthy and taste delish!

PS. Take out your frozen game hen tandoori in the morning so it will be ready for the oven in the evening.
