This is the crux of it TBH. On an industrial scale, we would have developed a more liquid marinade of the correct pH, added in a tad of phosphate or milk protein to help water retention, then massaged the marinade into the chicken using a batch tumbler, perhaps pulling a vacuum to help absorption into the muscle. Cooking would be a combination of roast (flavour) and steam (succulence), the choice depending whether there was residual marinade on the surface of the chicken that would be washed off by a moist (steady AM) cook.raamv wrote:It really depends on how much of marinade has been absorbed by the chicken breast overnite and how long yo cook it.
Political correctness is the belief that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Just leafed through the Claes Ohlsson catalog, they have a clay oven pan there that might well work as a substitute tandoori. Like two bowls, one for the bottom and then another as a lid. Not exactly a tangine, but the French idea of one. I have a kokki-pata stonewere pot with a lid I do my stuff in, doesn't get dry at all...
Cheers, Hank W.

Side note, but I usually cook duck breast (with the fat side up) andpenelope wrote:I've been doing chicken tagines since I lugged a ceramic tagine and ras-el-hanout spices back from Tunisia. Now those you can do slow in the oven. Really good, but a shame that the Finnish chicken has ZERO flavour. Tasted so much better in Djerba!
sprinkled with ras-el-hanour in the oven until it's rosé. Let it sit and then
slice it up thin and serve. If I let them, my kids will eat 3 duck breasts
(and bankrupt me in the process ) themselves.

How about a Tagine? We just recently got one as a present - so far I've only prepared the lamb-spices-honey-apricot-yummy Mrouzia in it, but it could be used for Tandoori as well couldn't it...? Sort of a Moroccan-Indian alternative... at least the Mrouzia turned out deliciously soft & juicyHank W. wrote:Just leafed through the Claes Ohlsson catalog, they have a clay oven pan there that might well work as a substitute tandoori.
