Roastchicken, Sunday roast gets a place in every household. This Indian style roast chicken taste delicious as well as it is easy to make. This is a family favorite just like my grilled chicken, kuboos and barbeque chicken.
One evening I was out of ideas for dinner. I was suddenly craving for a chicken dinner. I remembered that its been a while since I roasted a whole chicken. So decided to make a spicy Indian version of roast chicken chicken. I asked hubby to get a whole chicken with skin on because I wanted my roast chicken to have a crispy skin.
Even though, many Indian roast chicken recipe calls for chicken without skin mainly tandoori chicken. I decided to make a simple spicy version of roast chicken which doesn't has curd and other tenderizing stuffs. The skin is what protects the chicken from drying out.
So I made this chicken with skin and it was definitely worth the effort. The chicken was so moist and just came right off the bone. It was one juicy, spicy roast chicken chicken. Believe it or not, me and hubby finished the whole chicken by ourselves. We just had this with some garlic sauce and pita bread.
Whole Chicken - I used a small bird just over a kilo in weight (it is approximately 1.25 kg). Make sure the chicken has skins-on to protect the meat from drying out. Using large bird might take longer time to cook which will result in a drier meat.
Spice Mix - Since this is Indian flavoured chicken. I used a combo of kashmiri chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and garam masala powder. These combo of spice adds a punch.
Marination - Take butter in a sauce pan and melt it down. Now add all the ingredients into it and mix well. Spoon the marination over the chicken and massage really well. Spoon marination into the cavity as well. Put the chicken in fridge and let it marinate for 2 hours, you can leave to marinate overnight as well.
7)You can let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Sometimes I cover the tray with aluminium foil and leave the chicken to marinate overnight. But it is okay to bake the chicken immediately also.
Room temperature for baking - If you are allowing the chicken to rest in fridge. Make sure you take the chicken out of fridge 30 mins or 1 hour before baking. This ensures even baking and moist chicken.
Covering with foil - Cover the tray with foil and bake for 45 minutes which will make sure the chicken stays moist and gets cooked. In the last 30 minutes you can remove the foil and bake.
Basting Chicken - Using a ladle or spoon to remove the pan juices from the tray and pouring over the chicken ensure the chicken stays moist. Keep basting chicken every 10 to 15 mins. This step is essential for moist juicy chicken.
Resting the chicken - Once you remove the chicken from oven and let it rest for 15 to 30 mins before carving. This will make sure the juices from the chicken can settle into the chicken meat which makes them juicy. If you try to cut it immediately, the juices may run out everywhere.

This is urgent! My chicken is in the OTG with the 'bake' mode selected. In the bake mode, only the two heating elements at the bottom are active. The ones on the top are off. Is this alright or do I have to change the mode on my OTG to 'toast' or 'broil'?

1. Since the basic use of a microwave is to heat the food, so it is of prime importance to let the food rest for a while after cooking so it allows the heat to transfer and the temperature to come down on its own.
2. Use microwave friendly utensils as much as possible to avoid any spark. Avoid metal utensils since they may cause the microwave to spark.
3. While baking a dish, always use a slightly bigger utensil since the dish you will make will expand.
4. The best way to clean a microwave oven is to use a baking soda. Make a paste of baking soda with water and spread it all over the insides of the oven, avoiding the heating areas. Leave it for about 12 hours or overnight. Post this, spray some white vinegar on the surface. The baking soda will start foaming, use a damp cloth to wipe off the residues.
