1 lb. Pappardelle's Tandoori Turmeric Tagliatelle
8 large bone-in, skin-on, chicken thighs
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon yellow curry
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Combine all dry spices in a bowl and mix well.
  3. Wrap a baking sheet in foil and place chicken thighs onto the foil. Brush olive oil on both sides of chicken thighs. Rub the spice mixture on both sides ensuring the chicken is well coated. Bake the chicken for 50 minutes, or until tender. Once done, remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
