- 2 chickens
- 1 lemon
- 5 pots of low-fat yogurt
- 2 lemons
- 1 ginger root or 1 teaspoon of ginger powder
- 1/2 green chili
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 clove of garlic
- 2 limes
Cut the chickens, each thigh and each wing into two pieces.
Remove the skin and make two incisions to the bone on the surface of each piece.
Arrange in a dish and pour lemon juice over all sides, especially inside the incisions. Wait for twenty minutes.
Meanwhile, blend the yogurt, peeled and grated ginger, chili, peeled and chopped garlic, and garam masala until smooth.
Strain this paste through a sieve, then pour it over the chicken pieces, making sure the marinade enters the incisions and covers all sides.
Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 24 hours.
To cook, preheat the oven to its maximum temperature.
Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade by shaking them. Arrange them side by side on the oven tray and cook for twenty minutes.
