Allwyn's Grilled Chicken

Allwyn's Grilled Chicken

“This grilled chicken is my husband, Allwyn’s recipe. He made it for the first time on the day I was traveling back from India to Dubai last year. It was a lovely surprise when I returned home to a wonderful aroma emanating from the kitchen. This recipe has now become our family’s favorite way to grill chicken. Perhaps, I should travel more often!”  J

Ingredients

2 small spring chickens or 10-12 pieces of thighs and breasts

2 tbsp ginger garlic paste

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp pepper powder

½ tsp red chili powder

1 tbsp garam masala powder (I prefer Mother’s recipe garam masala)

2 tbsp tomato ketchup

1 tbsp softened butter

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp white vinegar

½ cup thick yogurt

salt to taste

Directions

Wash chickens and pat dry with a tissue kitchen towel. Add some salt and rub onto the chickens. Add all the ingredients and leave it in the fridge to marinate for 4-6 hours. Transfer the chickens to an oven proof tray, with the breast side up. Cover with foil. Heat the oven to 180 deg C. Cook chicken for 45 minutes to an hour. Remove the foil and let it cook for a further 10 minutes until the chicken is browned on top. Remove chicken and let it rest for a few minutes. Service with baked or mashed potatoes.
