Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon ground cumin seeds
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, or to taste (if you use less, increas paprika to make up for it)
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
6 tablespoons lemon juice
6 leg-thigh pieces of chicken, skinned and cut apart
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine cumin seeds, paprika, cayenne pepper, turmeric, pepper, salt, garlic and lemon juice and mix into a paste.
  • Rub chicken pieces with the paste until well coated and allow to stand, covered with plastic wrap, for three hours or longer.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the chicken pieces in a baking pan, brush with the oil and bake 20 minutes. Turn the pieces over and bake 20 to 25 minutes more, basting occasionally.
  • Remove chicken pieces to a warm serving platter. Add water, if necessary, to the baking pan and stir over a high heat until the sauce is somewhat reduced. Pour sauce over chicken and serve with rice pilaf.
