Marinating Instructions
Wash and drain the chicken legs. Do not remove the skin; it will actually protect the flesh when you bake.
Create 2 slits on each side of the leg. This will help the marinade to penetrate into the chicken.
Squeeze 1/2 lime into a bowl, add 1/2 tsp salt and mix well.
Rub in the lime and salt mixture into the chicken legs, one at a time.
Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Grind the yoghurt, garam masala, ginger, garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, green chilli, chopped onions into a smooth paste. This is your marinade.
Pour a few drops of food colour and mix well with a few drops of water. Take the chicken out of the fridge and apply the food colour to it.
Pour the marinade in a large bowl or a freezer bag. Add one chicken piece at a time, while rubbing the marinade well into each piece. Place it back in the refrigerator, and let it marinate for at least 8 hours.
Baking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 288 Celsius.
Line your baking pan with Freshwrapp foil and place the marinated chicken legs on it.
Bake for 15 minutes, then baste the chicken legs in the marinade before putting them back in the oven for 10 minutes.
Take the baking tray out, remove the chicken pieces from the foil, garnish with a few drops of lemon juice.
Serve with love.
