Grilled Chicken

Today I return with a Grilled Chicken recipe as promised in my previous post. Since we enter winter, this recipe is quite handy for all those who experience severe winters. And you can also use the same recipe for Barbeque as well with so many other alterations of your choice.


I grilled the chicken using the Microwave Oven. I marinated huge chunks of chicken overnight and grilled for an hour in the microwave oven. Oil is used liberally to get fine textured pieces. The oil content can be altered as per your choice.

 Chicken pieces can be cut as per your choice - either you can have small/medium/large pieces or you can grill the whole chicken at one time. The chicken that I grilled was of the medium pieces type and I selected the wings & legs portions for this purpose.


I marinated the chicken overnight and left it in the freezer section of the refrigerator. I removed it and brought to normal tempearute exactly one hour before I could start grilling it. Grilling time I set for 1 hour and 10 minutes. But I kept turning the pieces and oiling them every 20-25 minutes so that they could grill uniformly.


The recipe is as follows:


INGREDIENTS:


Chicken  - 4 Pieces
Ginger paste - 1/2 tablespoon
Garlic paste - 3/4th tablespoon
Red chilli powder - 2  teaspoons
Coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Garam masala powder - a pinch
Tandoori masala powder - 2 teaspoons
Vinegar - 1 teaspoon
Lemon juice - 1/2 teaspoon
Red color - a pinch
Corn flour - 1 tablespoon
Oil   - as per your choice

HOW TO MAKE:


1)  Marinate the chicken with all the ingredients except oil and refrigerate it for atleast 2 hours or preferably overnight for best results.






2)  Remove the chicken from the refrigerator atleast 1 hour before grilling. Set the oven for 1 hour and place the chicken pieces on the grill rack and grill the chicken.






3) Turn the pieces regularly basking with oil till they are done and get a brownish color.

4) Serve them hot.




RATING NOTES:

              DIFFICULTY LEVEL    :   EASY
              RATING  POINTS         :    8/10**


**  The more the marination time, the better the results - a more tastier dish in other words.
