Ingredients
a) 6 – 8 whole chicken legs or 10-12 chicken drumsticks
b) One and a half teaspoon whole black pepper
c) 1 teaspoon cumin powder
d) 8-10 cloves
e) One inch cinnamon stick
f) Pinch of turmeric powder
g) juice of 4 small limes
h) 4 green chillies
i) One small onion
j) half bunch coriander leaves
k) 12 mint leaves
m) half inch ginger
n) 6 flakes of garlic
o) salt to taste
p) two tablespoons butter ( melted)
Method
Pull out the skin of the chicken, wash apply a few cuts with a knife and keep aside.
Grinding :
Powder items B to F in a mixer / grinder
Add items from G to O and grind them all together into a thick paste. Add water while grinding only if required. Apply this paste well to the chicken legs / drumsticks and keep the vessel inside a refrigerator for marinating for about 6 – 8 hours.
Grilling :
Before beginning the grilling process in your electric or gas grill, please microwave the chicken for 2 minutes (This is required because during grilling the meat on the outside of the chicken tends to get cooked, while the meat close to the bones remains uncooked and raw. Microwaving for 2 minutes before grilling ensures that the chicken is evenly cooked).
Once the gas/electric oven is hot, place the chicken legs / drumsticks evenly on the grilling tray, and apply the melted butter on to the chicken with a brush and begin grilling. Keep turning sides and keep brushing the chicken with butter.
Depending upon the oven the grilling process will take up to 20 minutes. Keep watch so that you don’t burn the chicken. Remove once done and serve. You may squeeze some limes juice if required while serving
