Ingredients

7-8 pounds of chicken drum sticks thighs or breasts as long as there is bone in and skin on

Marinade

1 cup of yogurt
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons of garam masala
1 teaspoon of turmeric
2 tablespoons of ground coriander
2 tablespoons cumin
3 tablespoons of paprika
3 tablespoons of lime juice
2 teaspoon or kosher salt
1 tablespoons of fresh ginger
6 garlic cloves chopped

Instructions

Mix the marinade ingredients together in a mixer.
Generously cover chicken in marinade and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Cook the chicken in the oven at 375 degrees until an instant read temperature reads 160. Broil for a couple of minutes once it is ready to crisp up the skin if it is not already crispy.
You can also grill on the barbeque or even (my favorite) cook in a smoker. If you cook in a smoker, grill for a few minutes once it is ready to crisp up that skin.

Notes

Serve with mango chutney, raita or even some Sriracha. It's great in sandwiches or even as a pizza topping, so make sure you have enough for leftovers.
Also try it with our pakora waffles.
