Ingredients & full method

Ingredients

  • 1 kg halal chicken thighs and drumsticks, bone-in
  • 150 g plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Nawabi Life Ginger Garlic Paste
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/3 cup Nawabi Life Crispy Fried Onions
  • Lemon wedges and mint, to serve

How to make it

  1. Make a few shallow cuts in the thickest parts of the chicken. Mix yogurt, Ginger Garlic Paste, lemon, oil, spices and salt. Coat chicken thoroughly.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight; marinating time is additional to preparation time.
  3. Heat oven to 220°C / 425°F. Arrange chicken on a rack over a lined roasting tray with space between pieces.
  4. Roast 35–45 minutes, turning once, until the thickest pieces reach 74°C / 165°F. For more colour, broil for 2–3 minutes while watching closely.
  5. Rest for 5 minutes. Add Crispy Fried Onions immediately before serving, with mint and lemon.
