Ingredients
  

  • 3 piece chicken leg
  • 2 teaspoon chilli powder (add according to taste)
  • teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder 
  • 4 tablespoon curd or yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon oil (flavourless) (for brushing the chicken)
  • 1 big onion (for garnish)
  • 1 big tomato (for garnish)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • In a plate or bowl add chilli powder, coriander powder, salt, curd and lemon juice. Mix well until, you gat a fine paste
  • Rub the paste as shown in the picture.
  • Let it marinate for two to three hours or overnight. If planning to grill the next day, transfer the chicken into a bowl and cover it with a cling wrap.
  • I grilled in my microwave convection oven on grill mode. Before grilling, brush oil (flavourless oil) on each piece and grill for 13 to 15 minutes. Then flip the chicken onto the other side and grill for another 15 minutes. After grilling let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve with onion rings and lemon wedges.

Notes

After grilling, allow the chicken to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Grilling drumsticks, thighs, breast, and wings varies in time. So do have an eye if grilling in OTG or Microwave convection oven.
Brush oil on the chicken before grilling as it helps to avoid sticking to the grilling rack.
