Grill Briyani chicken

Every morning after morning exercise, our group of women will gather around to chat or exchange recipes and ideas.  This morning I got a new grill chicken  recipe from our group that I would like to share here .  Its called grill briyani chicken.

The ingredients are,

1.5 kg of chicken(thighs or whole),
10 shallots,
1 in ginger,
6 cloves of garlic,
6 - 8 dried chili,(soak in water)
3 tbs briyani powder,
3 tbs water,
1/2 tsp salt,
1 tbs sugar,
2 tbs oil

Wash and clean the chicken and drain.  For chicken thighs, cut into half, cut 2 slits on both side.  For the whole chicken, chop into bite pieces and set aside.
 Peel the shallots, garlic and ginger.  Blend the shallots, ginger, garlic and dried chili in a blender until fine or use a pounder to pound until fine.

Heat up the 2 tbs of oil in a pan, pour in the blended ingredients and stir fry until aromatic.  Add in salt, sugar, water.  Stir for a while.

Lastly add in the briyani powder and continue stirring until well mix.  Off the fire and it cool.

Pour the fried mixture onto the drained chicken and marinate thoroughly for at 4 hours or overnight.

  Grill at 200 degree C for 20 to 25 minutes or until well done.

I did not grill but bake the chicken by placing the marinated chicken on baking dish with banana leaf because it will be more juicy then grilling.

After baking for 25 minutes, oh...the smell so good and taste yummy too.
