This is our most favorite chicken dish which we all like to have at any time, given a choice. There are many different varieties of dishes which can be made using chicken. we can experiment a lot of different styles. One such experiment is the outcome of this dish.


Usually, I would make some curry or semi gravy or fried, this time also I was sauteeing the onion and tomato mixture, the idea of grinding, marinating and slow roasting the chicken popped up and gave it a try. I think many of you might know this variety of fried chicken but I am trying for the first time.
A classic roasted chicken makes a delicious and healthy side that never goes out of style. The mildly spiced chicken is power packed with flavors. This dish can be made within less time. Hope you will like this. Just give it a try and let me know...
