Chicken Barbecue: Chef Jawwad's recipe

Here is a recipe for steaming hot chicken barbecue.
The ingredients mentioned are for 1 kg of chicken. If you are planning a get together of friends over a barbecue you will need 750 grams chicken per person. (more if you people are hoggers like me) 

1. Take 250 gm of curd.
2. Add an entire packet of tandoori masala available in super markets or chicken shops.
3. Add tbspn of garlic-ginger paste to it.
4. Add 1/2 tbspn  of red chilli powder.
5. Add 1 tbspn of dhaniya powder.
6. Add 1/2 tea spoon of garam masala powder.
7. Place the chicken in the mixture and mix it well. Dont forget to make slits on the meat so that the mixture reaches deep inside and also the heat radiates till the core when we you place it on the grill.
8. Add salt for taste.
9.Squeeze one lemon in the mixture.
10. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 3 hours.
At the end of marination your chicken must look like this

If it doesn't, then may God save your chicken!

Now the grilling part. Get some charcoal from the local market and place it in a large container. Keep some chips of wood on it. I use wood chips because the charcoal  takes some time to burn without it. Pour some kerosene and light it.

Once the charcoal catches fire transfer it into the grilling vessel and keep the chicken pieces on the grill. Then cover it up. Remember the basic principle of barbecue is low and slow.

Let the cover be on for 20-25 minutes. But every 5-7 minutes keep flipping the pieces.

At the end, hope and pray to the almighty  that your chicken looks like this. Coz if doesn't your friends won't spare you!
