Grilled or Baked Chicken

 

Ingredients: (serves 2)

2 chicken whole legs

1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil

2 tbsp. chili powder

1 tsp. tumeric powder

1/2 tsp. pepper powder

1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste

1 tsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. coriander leaves (chopped)

Methods:

1. Wash the chicken whole legs and make few deep slashes on it.
2. To a bowl, add olive oil, chili powder, tumeric powder, pepper powder, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, salt and coriander.  Combine all the ingredients to make a marinade.
3. Marinade the chicken whole legs with the marinade.  Rub all over thoroughly through the slashes.  Place the marinated chicken pieces into a zip-lock bag, squish off air and lock the bag and leave in the refrigerator overnight.
4. Place marinated chicken whole legs, skin side up into a pan; bake in a preheated oven of 180 degree Clesius for 20 minutes; flip over and continue to bake for another 15 minutes; and flip over to bake for additional 5  minutes to get the charred.
5. Remove from oven at let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.  I serve this grilled/baked chicken with a side dish of German Potato Salad.  Drizzle over the chicken with leftover juices from the pan.
