Ingredients:


2 pounds chicken legs -- thighs or breasts

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon red chile powder

1 teaspoon coriander seeds -- roasted, ground

2 teaspoons garlic -- minced

2 teaspoons ginger -- fresh, grated

2 tablespoons lemon juice or white wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon black pepper -- ground

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 tablespoons yogurt
 

Preparation / Directions:


Remove the skin and make 2-3 deep cuts in each chicken piece. Roast the coriander seeds in a hot cast iron skillet. After cooling, grind to powder. Mix all dry ingredients with the lemon juice or vinegar and make a paste. Put this paste onto chicken pieces and leave them for at least 4-5 hours to marinate. Better if left in refrigerator over night. Grill method: Rub each piece of chicken with a few drops of vegetable oil. Grill the chicken using indirect heat over hot coals. Oven method: Put the chicken pieces (with the paste still on it) onto a broiler tray and cover them with aluminum foil. Put the tray into a medium oven (350F) for 30 minutes. Then remove tray and pour off any liquid. Baste chicken with 2 tablespoons of oil and return to the oven for another 15 minutes until outside of chicken is crispy.
