Buc buc bok bagok! It's time to roast some chicken :) Well I always enjoy roasting chicken for a couple of reasons: first of all it's so easy to do, secondly it saves time and moreover the dishes you have to wash in the end are so less too :D and ofcourse it's so yummylicious to eat!
With that said, lets not waste our time and dig into how to do it!
InshaAllah I will be posting loads of recipes of marinades that you can try while roasting chicken. [I often try some new marination for roasting my chicken because I don't want my roasted chicken to taste monotonous but obviously there is this one favorite taste that you can never get bored of.]
But for this one to make, the recipe goes like this:
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (skin/skinless is upon your preference)
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 lemon
1 green chilli (finely chopped. seed/seedless again is upon your spice level)
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tsp red chilli flakes
1 tsp garam masala pwd
1 tsp cumin (roasted and crushed-to roast it, heat it on a dry pan for a couple of minutes until you can smell the aroma. Then crush using pestle and mortar (in urdu it's called 'hawal dasta') or in your grinder)
4-5 tbsp beaten youghurt
3-4 tbsp oil
If you're a beginner and you don't get how people add salt using their hands instead of spoon, don't worry-I can understand your feeling as I have been through it and guess what 'now I'm one of those people who prefer adding salt with their hands rather than using measurement spoons' lol :D Refer to article Sprinkle IT with Hands to develop this trait in yourself inshaAllah.
But for your ease, we have some measured quantity of salt too until you get the confidence to use your hands instead. :)
I always used to hate that marinade smell from my fingers that used to go away after so many times I would wash my hands, so now I do this: I throw the chicken in a plastic bag, pour all the marinade over it, close it and then massage it. Alhumdulillah, then I'm saved from washing my hands so many times and moisturizing them :D
STEP#1: Remind yourself you're going to cook with love! :)
STEP#2: In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except salt.
STEP#3: Wash your chicken with water (and if you can't do it yourself, you can always ask for some help from your mum-if you are pakistani :p One of my horrors: how to wash this chicken? )
STEP#4: Rub the salt over the chicken.
STEP#5: In a plastic bag, put the chicken and all the marinade. Close it and then *massage* it with all the <3 you can :) Even the chicken loves to get the massage :D In this way the flavors go inside it really nicely. And keep it in fridge preferably overnight but even a couple of hours would work. Lol this time my 4years old cousin helped me in massaging the chicken ;)
STEP#6: In a preheated oven, at 180C, bake it until the meat is tender according to your choice. If you're a pakistani, you might bake it for 50-60mins. It depends upon the size of chicken plus how long you have let it marinate.
STEP#7: Serve with parathas, chapati, raita (yoghurt), salad, rice or anything you like and eat with <3 too :)
You can add tandoori color too to the marinade.
