Ingredients
  • 12 pieces of chicken (skin on or off)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1.5 tsp coriander powder
  • 1.5 tsp hot chilli flakes (use more if you want it spicier)
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp chilli powder
  • 4 tbsp oil
  • 4 tbsp yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp mustard sauce
  • 1 tsp mint sauce
  • fresh coriander for garnishing
Method
  1. Start by washing your chicken and removing any hair from the skin if you are using chicken with skin on. Allow to drain well and then score the chicken as shown in the top left photo, this will help the spices penetrate the flesh of the chicken. Leave to one side while you prepare the marinade.
  2. In a large bowl add 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp cumin powder, 1.5 tsp coriander powder, 1.5 tsp chilli flakes, 0.5 tsp chilli powder and 1.5 tsp salt.
  3. Next add the wet ingredients; 4 tbsp oil, 4 tbsp yoghurt, 1 tbsp mustard and 1 tsp mint sauce and mix it all up!
  4. You should end up with a paste like marinade.
  5. Add in the scored chicken pieces, use your hands and thoroughly cover all the chicken in the marinade.
  6. I would recommend letting this sit for 30 minutes if you have time to spare, if not just heat your oven to between gas mark 6 - 7 (200 - 220°C, 400 - 425°F) and bake uncovered in the oven for 40 - 45 minutes, turning over half way through to ensure even cooking.
