Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, very finely grated or minced
1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, peeled and very finely grated or minced

¼ whole milk yogourt
1 teaspoon garam masala

Method

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, tomato paste, yogourt, garam masala, tandoori spice, salt and olive oil.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to get as much as possible underneath the skin.
Place the chicken on a wire rack positioned over an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet (or in a roasting pan or baking dish) and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check after 40 minutes, and if the chicken is browning too much, cover with foil. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.
