METHOD
Making the first marinade – 30 minutes to 1 hour (optional)
- remove all the skin (essential); makes some slashes in the meat, almost to the bone, about 1 to 2 cm (1/2 to 1”) apart so that the flavors can penetrate the chicken;
- dissolve the salt in the lemon juice; pour over the chicken in a deep dish and let marinate, turning 2 or 3 times.
Making the second marinade – 24 hours
- combine all the ingredients for the second marinade in a bowl;
- remove the chicken from the first marinade; pat dry; place into the second marinade;
- generously brush the slashes with the marinade then coat the whole chicken in the marinade; cover the container and place in the coldest part of the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning once or twice during this time.
Cooking
- drain the chicken;
- cook in a tandoor, on a barbecue or under a broiler for 15 minutes on each side, and serve with the usual accompaniments as described in the tandoori technique.
