Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
1 whole chicken cut cut into leg and breast pieces
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black pepper powder
2 tsp Red chili powder
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Cumin powder zeera
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Vinegar
1/2 tsp Garam masala powder all spice powder
1 tbsp Garlic ginger paste
1 tsp Coriander powder
3 pinches of orange food color
2 tbsp oil
Instructions
Add horizontal cuts on your chicken pieces to make sure all the marinate can go right in.
In a bowl mix all the remaining listed ingredients to make your marinade.
In a flat dish, add all your chicken pieces and rub the marinade generously on all of them. Make sure you cover all cuts and edges.
Cover the chicken and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Take out the chicken 20 to 30 mins before cooking
Use one of the following ways to cook your chicken:
ON STOVE
Add 1 tbsp of oil to a grill pan or frying pan.
Add your chicken pieces and grill them on high heat for 3 mins each side (this will give you a nice charred look and will seal the chicken juices)
Cover the pan with a lid and cook the chicken at low heat for 8 mins.
Flip the pieces over, cover and cook for another 8 mins.
Serve hot
IN THE OVEN.1. Add 1 tbsp of oil to a grill pan or frying pan.
2. Add your chicken pieces and grill them on high heat for 3 mins each side (this will give you a nice charred look and will seal the chicken juices)
3. Cover the chicken with foil and keep in a preheated oven for 30 mins at 190 °C
ON AN OUTDOOR BBQ GRILL1. This one’s pretty upfront. Just grill it till you see a nice charred look. Keep coating the chicken with oil every 5 to keep the juices sealed in. Flip the chicken every-time you coat it with oil. It will roughly take about 20 mins to be done
Notes
You can also smoke your chicken when marinating if you want to give it a nice coal smell while cooking indoors.
