Instructions

Wash and clean the chicken pieces. Pat them with kitchen towel.
Now marinate the chicken pieces with the ingredients mentioned under for first marination, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
In a large bowl beat the hung curd with other ingredients mentioned under for second marination. Now put all the marinated chicken pieces in the second marination. And marinate the chicken pieces very well rubbing with your fingers.
Cover and let it marinate atleast for 4-5 hours (I prefer overnight or 8-9 hours). Put it in refrigerator.
Take out the bowl 1 hour before you start grilling in oven.
Pre heat the oven at 180 C.
Now apply some oil on the wire rack and arrange the marinated chicken pieces on single layer.
Put it on the middle rack of the oven with the tray below as the marination will drip while cooking.
Cook for 15-20 minutes. Now turn the chicken pieces and bast them with butter. Cook for another 15-20 minutes or till the chicken is done.
Now put the rack on the top for 5 minutes on each side to get the charcoal grill effect. Do not forget to apply a generous amount of butter while cooking. Else the chicken will become very dry.
Take out from oven and sprinkle some Chaat Masala on the chicken pieces. Serve hot with Green Chutney and onion, tomato, cucumber salad with lemon wedges.
