It’s Sunday, and my family wishes for something different, to celebrate our weekend and treat our stomach to its cravings. So after the breakfast, I was searching for inspiration. At moments like these, I usually get stuck to my fav cook books or get hooked to my ibook and sit browsing and searching for recipes, sites that help me out, now for my lunch, a weekend lunch. It took some time, but eventually I found this recipe online, i usually do not prepare these kind of recipes, infact I never did. My chicken is almost always with some or the other spices, or masalas. But this didnt have any. I thought to give it a try and went ot my kitchen. I modified it in my own way, adding what I love and felt would go well, marinated my chicken for three hours and sat watching ‘Finding Nemo‘ with my Hubby. Yes, I hadnt seen it and was asking him to get the DVD, and today I was able to. The movie was lovely, love animation a lot, and after that it was time for the chicken to go into our systems. It was already Lunch time. It took around an hour for the chicken to cook perfectly, and when I served my grilled chicken with rice and a side dish, it was a hit with my family. Everyone loved the sweet taste and the light chilli touch to it. Here’s the recipe, try it out and enjoy guys.
Ingredients:
- Chicken drumsticks/Chicken wings – 8 pieces
- Butter – 6 tbsp
- Soy sauce – 3 tbsp
- Honey – 2 tbsp
- Maggi Chilli Sauce – 2 tbsp
- Turmeric – 1 tsp
- Coriander powder – 1 tsp
- Vinegar – 1 tbsp
- Ginger-Garlic Paste – 3 tsp
- Crushed chili flakes – 1 tbsp
- Black pepper – 1/2 tsp
- BBQ Sauce- for basting
Method:
- If you are planning to grill your chicken indoors in your oven, take a roasting pan with higher walls and line it on the base with aluminium foil folded twice. And if you have an outdoor gas or charcoal grill its all the more better.
- Make small slit marks on the chicken drumsticks or chicken wings, whatever you plan to prepare for the day.
- Mix all the ingredients well and coat the chicken the chicken with it. Let it refrigerate for 3 hours preferably. Let the chicken come back to room temperature again just before when you begin to grill it.
- Pour all the contents of the marinate with the chicken in the roasting pan if using an indoor grill oven, or place the individual marinated chicken on the charcoal or gas grill and begin grilling it. Remember to keep the grill temperature on low heat so that the chicken cooks properly.
- Let it grill for an hour time, until it is thoroughly cooked. Keep turning and basting the drumsticks with any of your favourite BBQ sauce.
- Griil it until it is perfectly cooked, and make sure you do not burn it. You can test if it is nicely cooked by piercing it with a fork at the thickest portion of the drumstick. Once done, Serve it hot.
