Wood-Fired Oven How To: Tandoori Chicken & Garlic Naan Cooked in a Pizza Oven

In this video, I share the recipe and the process I go through to to simulate a tandoor oven environment to make tandoori chicken and garlic naan in our wood-fired brick oven (pizza oven) that we built at home.

TANDOORI CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS
4 whole bone-in chicken legs (we used 4 Bone-in Chicken Thighs and 2 Boneless Chicken Breasts in the video)
1 tbsp Red Chili Powder
1 tbsp Garam Masala
1 tbsp Hungarian Paprika
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Coriander
3 tbsp of Vegetable Oil
1 cup Plain Whole-Milk Yogurt
Juice of 1 Lemon
4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
2 tbsp Fresh Ginger (we used 1 tsp ground ginger in the video)
1 tsp salt

RECIPE
Heat all spices in oil for about 3 minutes, until fragrant
Whisk spices into yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and salt
Cut deep slashes into the chicken, down to the bone
Marinade chicken in mixture overnight
Grill at very high temperature for 15-20 minutes (after baking the garlic naan)

GARLIC NAAN

INGREDIENTS
4 cups all-purpose flour
7 grams active dry yeast
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp whole-milk yogurt
1 cup whole milk
6 garlic cloves (minced)
Fresh Cilantro (optional)
Ghee to top

RECIPE
Combine dough ingredients and mix (not garlic, cilantro, or ghee)
Knead until soft
Cover and let rest for 90 minutes or until about double in size
Divide into 12 equal size pieces (or 8 if you want larger naan)
Pre-shape each piece into a tight ball
Rest dough balls for about 15 minutes
Head outside to the oven
Flatten dough into very thin flat-breads using your hands or a rolling pin, stretching them very thin
Add garlic and cilantro to tops of flat-breads and press toppings into the dough so they stick
Place naan on metal peel with plain side facing out with one corner of the naan wrapped around to the back of the peel
Spray plain side of naan with a spritz of water
Flip naan out onto the hearth of the oven so the plain side sticks to the hearth. Do this confidently to ensure the naan stays flat against the hearth
Cook in hot oven (pizza stage) directly on hearth for about 40 seconds
Lift the naan up into the top of the dome for about 20 seconds to cook the top of it a little more
Remove from oven and top with ghee immediately
