Perfect Keto Tandoori ChickenTandoori Chicken is a hugely popular dish all over the world. Our Keto Tandoori Chicken recipe is a dish that you’ll want to make, over and over.

The marinade is bursting with flavor and the acidic lemon juice and yogurt. The marinade helps tenderize the tandoori chicken. The longer you leave it to marinate, the more intense the flavor will be.

Packaged tandoori paste often contains sugars, stabilizers and wheat, none of which you want to be eating on keto.

By making your own tandoori marinade you eliminate all these extra carbs. And you can also adjust the level of spice to your own personal taste.

This Keto Tandoori Chicken recipe is quite mild compared to many Indian dishes, while still providing a big punch of flavor.
