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.
