When the night is cold and dry or your family is lazy and quiet, serve this fiery hot tender chicken rolled in crushed pepper cons which in a most indulgent fashion spices up the palate and tantalizes your senses. The aroma and flavors of this dish is sure to make mouths and eyes water. The brining, baking and shallow frying keeps the chicken moisturized and succulent from inside while hot and slightly crispy on the outside. You will have your family literally eating out of your hands and back to their chirpy selves. Don’t wait. Try it this weekend…..
By the way I made this fiery chicken to mark the Dragon’s Loyalty award presented to me by Kruti mehta of 10 evening flowers.
Things you need:
- 1 Chicken quartered and skinned
- 2 tbsp. fried onion paste
- 2 tbsp. ginger garlic paste
- 1 cup yogurt
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. fresh cream
- 1 tsp.All spice powder
- 1/2 cup coarsely crushed black pepper cons
- First brine the chicken pieces ( skip the coffee powder from the recipe in the link) for two hours at least.
- Discard the solution , rinse and pat dry.
- Add all the above ingredients except the black pepper and marinate for half an hour. Since you have added salt to the brine, add very little salt.
- Cook in the oven at 180 º C for 45-60 minutes till done.
- Heat a non-stick pan and add a tablespoon or two of oil in it.
- Roll the chicken pieces in crushed pepper cons (as many as your tongue can bear) and fry one piece at a time, for a minute on each side.
Serving Suggestion:
- Mango slices can be an excellent accompaniment to this hot dish.
- You can also reduce the juices remaining in the oven tray and pour over the chicken. This can be served with bread or steamed rice.
This is my entry to the Friday Fiesta co-hosted by Angie , Elaine and Stacey.
