Then carefully take the chicken out of the oven and spread little butter or olive oil and keep it back in the oven and grill for another 30 minutes

Baking time may vary depending on the oven.
After marinating the chicken put it in a zip lock pouch and keep in fridge.
As i was running short of yogurt I used laban instead of yogurt, that`s why my marination looks little watery.
