Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori Chicken is a popular Indian dish featuring roasted chicken prepared with yogurt and spices. The name comes from the type of cylindrical clay oven, a tandoor, in which the dish is traditionally prepared. The vibrant red hue of Tandoori Chicken is achieved through the use of turmeric, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Savor the explosion of flavors with each bite: there's a delightful balance of sour, spice, and smoky notes. Infused with aromatic spices and served with a squeeze of lime, Tandoori Chicken is an excellent main dish at any gathering, or a delightful addition to your weekday recipe rotation.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Tandoori Chicken expire?
Unopened, Tandoori Chicken from commercial sources can last up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Once opened, it's best to consume it within 2-3 days. Homemade Tandoori Chicken should be eaten within 3-4 days for optimal freshness. If you decide to freeze your Tandoori Chicken, it can maintain its quality for 2-3 months.
How do you tell if Tandoori Chicken is bad?
If your Tandoori Chicken has gone bad, you'll notice it through different signs. First of all, a sour or unpleasant smell is a clear sign that your chicken has spoiled. Also, the texture of the chicken may become slimy or sticky. Another sign is if the chicken changes color, from its usual reddish-orange to a grey or green shade. When any of these signs appear, it's best to discard the chicken to avoid any food-borne illnesses.
Tips for storing Tandoori Chicken to extend shelf life
• Always store your Tandoori Chicken in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil or plastic wrap. This will prevent it from drying out and also keep it from absorbing odors from the refrigerator. • If you won't be eating your Tandoori Chicken within the next 3-4 days, consider freezing it. Again, use an airtight container or specialized freezer bags for optimal storage. • To defrost frozen Tandoori Chicken, it's best to transfer it to the refrigerator and let it thaw slowly. This could take up to 24 hours depending on the size of the chicken pieces. For quicker defrosting, use the microwave on its defrost setting, but be sure to cook it immediately after to prevent bacterial growth. • Avoid leaving Tandoori Chicken at room temperature for more than 2 hours as bacteria can start to multiply quickly.
