Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken
- ½ cup Hung curd
- 1½ tbsp Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
- ½ tsp Garam masala
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 tbsp Biju Thadathil Farm Himalayan Honey
- 1 tbsp Butter
- Salt to taste
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the hung curd, ginger-garlic paste, Kashmiri chilli powder, garam masala, lemon juice, Himalayan Honey, and salt to prepare a smooth marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 6–8 hours to allow the flavours to develop.
- Preheat the oven or grill to 200°C. Arrange the marinated chicken on a baking tray or grill rack.
- Cook for 25–30 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through for even cooking.
- Mix the butter with Biju Thadathil Farm Black Forest Honey and brush it generously over the chicken halfway through grilling to create a rich, glossy glaze.
- Continue cooking until the chicken is lightly charred on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside.
- Serve immediately while hot with mint chutney, grilled vegetables, naan, or a fresh salad.
💡 Chef's Tip
Marinating the chicken overnight delivers deeper flavour and extra tenderness. Brushing the Black Honey and butter glaze during the final stage of cooking creates a beautiful caramelised finish while enhancing the smoky aroma.
