Daddy's Special Grilled Chicken


First, let's make the Tandoori Masala

Ingredients:
Cumin seeds: 2 tsp
Coriander seeds: 5 tbsp
Cloves:5-8 pods
Cinnamon: 4 sticks x 2 inch long
Fresh Ginger: Finely Chopped 2 inch medium piece
Fresh Garlic: 8-10
Red chilli powder - 4 tsp
Turmeric powder - 2 tsp
Mace powder - 1 tsp
Salt
Orange Food Color: 1 tsp

Grind the above to a thick paste and store in the refrigerator.

To make the Grilled Chicken

Ingredients:
Chicken - 1 kg (Breast & Leg pieces preferably without skin)
Tandoori Masala: 8 tbsp
Yogurt: 1 tub / 2 tea-cups
Lemons: 2
Ginger Garlic Paste: 2 tsp
Salt

Wash, clean and cut the chicken into equal pieces. Beat it to even the pieces so that they all cook at the same temperature. Now marinade the chicken in the tandoori masala, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste and lemon juice. Refrigerate this overnight or roughly for about 12 hrs.

Now, place the chicken on a grill stand, apply a little butter on each piece and put it in a micro-wave. Let this cook on grill / convection mode for about 20 mins. Turn each piece and let it cook for another 20 mins again.

Serve hot with a salad of onion rings, mint leaves and lemon wedges and ofcourse some Old Monk & Rum too. Oh and don't forget to call me :)
