Thoroughly dry chicken pieces. Using a fork, deeply pierce each piece well, on all sides. Set aside while you make the marinade.
3
Fry
4
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic and cook ⏱️ 30 seconds. Stir in ginger, garam masala, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Cook ⏱️ 30 seconds longer.

7
Marinade
8
In a large bowl, combine remaining garlic mixture, remaining lime juice, and salt. "Loosen" mixture a bit with a couple dashes of olive oil. Transfer pierced chicken to this large bowl and rub mixture onto chicken until all pieces are evenly coated.
olive oil (light)3 tablespoons
9
Cover tightly and put in fridge for ⏱️ 2-4 hours. Remove from fridge ⏱️ 1 hour before you're ready to cook, so it has time to get close to room temp.
10
Preheat
11
Adjust oven rack to upper middle position and heat to 325F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil.
12
Roast
13
One at a time, work yogurt mixture into each chicken piece so that each piece is thickly coated, including underneath the skin. Place chicken onto baking sheet and pour any remaining yogurt mixture over the chicken.
14
Roast chicken ⏱️ 20-25 minutes, depending on size of pieces (125-130 degrees if using meat thermometer.)
15
Broil
16
Remove chicken from oven, and adjust oven rack 6 inches from top heat broiler. Return chicken to oven rack, and broil until chicken is lightly charred in spots, about ⏱️ 8-12 minutes. Each oven is different and chicken pieces vary in size, so watch carefully to ensure chicken does not burn.
17
Serve
18
Transfer chicken to serving plate, tent loosely with foil and let rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving. Serve with Basmati rice and lime wedges.
