It’s typically cooked over open flame or coals, which imparts a rich smoky flavor. Popular worldwide, BBQ chicken is a highlight of picnics, backyard gatherings, and festive dinners. It can be served with grilled vegetables, bread, salads, or rice, depending on the region.


Ingredients:
For Marination:

3kg chicken (bone-in or boneless, preferably leg/thigh pieces)
4 tbsp Tandoori Masala
3 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
2 tsp red chili powder or paprika
2 tbsp lemon pepper powder
2 tbsp thick curd/yogurt
Salt to taste
2 tbsp ghee


For Basting:

4 tbsp oil or melted butter
4 tbsp BBQ sauce (or a mix of ketchup + honey + chili sauce)

Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:

Clean and pat dry the chicken pieces.

In a bowl, mix all marinade ingredients into a thick paste.

Coat chicken thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (overnight for deeper flavor).

Grill the Chicken:

Preheat a grill or BBQ setup. You can also use a grill pan or oven at 200°C (392°F).

Place the chicken on the grill. Cook on medium flame, flipping occasionally.

Baste with oil or BBQ sauce mixture as it grills to keep it moist and enhance flavor.

Cooking Time:

Grill each side for about 6–8 minutes or until fully cooked and lightly charred.

Ensure internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) if using a meat thermometer.

Serve:

Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped coriander or parsley.

Serve hot with mint chutney, garlic bread, or a fresh salad.
