Directions
-
cooking to bring it to room temperature.
-
The chicken is now ready to be either roasted in the oven or broiled over an electric or charcoal
-
grill .
-
TO ROAST IN THE OVEN: Start heating the oven to 500-550 degrees F (288&# 194;°C).
-
Take the chicken legs out of the marinade.
-
Brush them with ghee or oil, and place them on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan.
-
Set the pan in the middle level of the oven, and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.
-
There is no need to baste while the chicken pieces are roasting, because the enclosed environment keeps the chickens from drying excessively.
-
(I made the chicken this way, and it tasted just like the Indian restaurant's did.) TO BROIL INDOORS:
-
Preheat the broiler.
-
Brush the grill with a little oil to prevent the meat's sticking.
-
Place the chicken legs, slashed side up, on the grill, and brush the slashed side with ghee or oil.
-
Cook 2 to 3 inches away from the heat for 20 minutes.
-
Turn and cook the other side for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are cooked through.
-
Brush often with ghee or oil during cooking.
-
GRILL OUTDOORS: Fire the coal well in advance (about 1-1/2 hours before you are ready to begin cooking), so that a white ash forms over the surface of the coal.
-
This is when the coal is at its hottest.
-
Place the grill at least 5 inches away from the heat, and rub generously with oil.
-
Place the chicken pieces, slashed side up, over the grill and brush them with ghee or oil.
-
Let chicken cook without turning for 10 minutes.
-
Turn, baste the other side, and cook for 10 minutes.
-
continue to cook, turning and basting the chicken every 10 minutes, until it is done.
-
The grilling usually varies widely.
-
Much depends upon the intensity of the heat and its distance from the chicken.
-
The point to remember is that the chicken pieces have been marinating in a very strong tenderizing solution for two days and therefore will
-
cook much faster than standard broiled or barbecued chicken.
-
Serve the chicken immediately, lightly brushed with ghee or oil and accompanied by Roasted Onions (Bhone Piaz)
