Cooked chicken at indoor gathering (8)

I believe the answer is:

tandoori

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cooked chicken' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'at indoor gathering' is the wordplay.
'gathering' indicates anagramming the letters (letters gathered in a new way).
'at'+'indoor'='atindoor'
'atindoor' is an anagram of 'TANDOORI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tandoori that I've seen before include "Type of Indian cooking" , "Cooked in an Indian clay oven" , "Indian cooking method" , "Clay oven cooking style" , "Clay-oven cookery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
