Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (about 1.5 kg), cleaned and washed

• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste

• 1 tablespoon red chili powder (adjust according to your spice tolerance)

• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

• 1 teaspoon cumin powder

• 1 teaspoon coriander powder

• 1 teaspoon garam masala

• Salt to taste

• 4 tablespoons yogurt

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Preparation

1. Make deep cuts on the chicken with a sharp knife. This will allow the marinade to penetrate deep into the meat, ensuring maximum flavor.

2. In a bowl, mix together ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, yogurt, lemon juice, and vegetable oil to form a smooth marinade.

3. Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to get it into the cuts you made earlier. Let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be.

Cooking:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

2. Place the marinated chicken on a roasting tray and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. This will help the chicken cook evenly and retain its moisture.

3. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until it is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow the skin to crisp up.

4. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before carving.

5. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with naan, rice, or your favorite side dishes.
