Clean and wash the chicken well.

Combine everything well.  If required add a table spoon of water

Rub this marination on to the chicken and keep it in fridge overnight (Do not freeze)

Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it rest in room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before cooking
I am using and electric grill to make this chicken

Preheat the grill at 180 C
Arrange the chicken on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on one side and then flip the chicken and cook the other side.

Brush some oil or butter on the chicken pieces

Keep flipping sides in regular intervals and brush some oil or butter each time until the chicken is well cooked

Take it off the grill and let it cool a bit and serve hot with puthina or corinader chutney
You can cook the same in an OTG, tandoor or a coal grill
