Is it possible to make tandoori chicken at home?

[Bestseller]

Or some approximation of it? I'm thinking chicken breast pieces, not a whole chicken. Doesn't need to be authentic, just something that my DCs would recognise as similar to what they get at the Indian restaurant.

If so how?

I think you can get some tandoori paste which you apply/rub in to the chicken, then oven cook and serve with typical side dishes, i am sure google will know better than I do.

I think Jaime oliver did a tandoori chicken recipe which looked nice, I think it was when he was going around in his campervan

Tandoori powder with lemon juice and a bit of natural yoghurt.

Of course! As onesleep advised. Overnight in fridge then pat dry and bake.
Not complete unless you make raita, fluffly rice and have lime mango pickle on the side!

Yep, dead easy.

Skin and slash the meat first, then stick it in a marinade overnight. I use the Cooking like Mummyji recipe, but it's basically natural yoghurt (that's the most important bit), tandoori powder, lemon juice, salt, fresh ginger and garlic finely chopped, garam masala and some other bits of spice, whatever you fancy really, and chilli powder. Mix it up, marinade it, then take it out of the marinade, shake it - you want to be coated but not too thickly iyswim - then bake it in the oven, I usually put it on baking parchment for ease.

It's really good.
