Spicy baked Chicken

This is a healthier version of fried chicken as I have baked the chicken instead of frying them in oil.Its very light and full of flavours and very simple to make too.

Ingredients:

5no      bone- in skinless  chicken thighs
1no      lime
3tsp     yogurt
1tsp     red chillie pwdr
1tsp     black pepper pwdr
1pinch  turmeric pwdr
1tsp     coriander pwdr
1tsp     garam masala pwdr
1/2 tsp cummin pwdr
1 tsp    crushed kasuri methi leaves(dried fenugreek leaves)
salt       to taste
2tsp     ginger garlic paste
4tsp     oil

Method:

Squeeze the lime to take out its juice.Make a marinade with all the above given ingredients.The yogurt should be thick else the marinade will be very runny.Make a couple of slits on the chicken thighs.This helps the masala to be absorbed well..Pour the marinade over the chicken mix well until coated ,cover and let stand for atleast 2-3hrs.Overnite marination works best though.

Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet /pan with cooking oil.Spread the chicken on the sheet.Drizzle some oil on the chicken.

Bake for 15mins on each side.Then broil on high for 2mins on each side.

Enjoy with your favourite side/dip.
