Tandoori chicken - easy oven recipe

This is an easy recipe for a cold or rainy day that you can use to make Tandoori chicken in the oven. You can use the same ingredients for grilling. 
3lb chicken
For marinade:
1/2 cup yogurt
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp garlic paste
3 tsp red chilli powder (if you want it really spicy, or make it 2)
1 tsp corriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
A pinch of turmeric
Salt to taste
1 tsp of any tandoori paste that you have
Fork the chicken, and marinate for at least 2 hours. 
Place the chicken on a flat baking dish. 
Cook at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then broil it for 7 to 10 minutes to make it crispy.
If you have the patience to turn the pieces over, then broil for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. 
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken before broiling, and after turning the pieces over. This will keep it juicy.  
Serve with freshly sliced onions and squeeze a little lemon juice on the top.
