Instructions
- To marinate the chicken, wash the chicken and drain it completely, make sure there is no excess water. Marinating the chicken helps to make it soft, tasty, and juicy.
- Add lemon juice, chili powder, and salt mix everything well, and set this aside for 15 to 20 mins.
- Now, let’s start with the second marination. Add fresh yogurt, ginger garlic paste, crushed Kasuri methi, oil, turmeric powder, and garam masala.
- Mix everything well, marinate and refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight. The longer it marinated the softer chicken becomes, just melts in the mouth.
- Start Grilling the chicken in the oven or on the stovetop. Preheat the oven to 240c for 15 mins to grill in the oven.
- Skew the marinated chicken onto soaked wood skewers or place on a greased tray and grill for 20 to 30 mins.
- If grilling the marinated chicken in the pan, add a teaspoon of butter and grill it on a high flame. Continuously stir it to avoid burning.
