Grill Pan Chicken fry @ home

The Grill pan is one of the best cookware I bought recently. You can use very less oil for frying and it will not stick to the pan also. Its a worth buy.

Marination is very important to prepare the grilled chicken. The chicken has to be marinated and refrigerated for at least 8-10 hours before preparing.

Take thick curd to marinate the chicken, if the curd is watery then pour it in a muslin cloth and squeeze out all the water.

So here is the method to prepare the tasty tawa grill chicken.

The Ingredients required are as below:

Chicken Pieces - 500gm (Cut into big pieces as shown in picture. Here I have used 2 leg pieces)
Thick curd - 1/2 cup
Salt for taste
Butter
Crushed Red Chilly / red chilli powder - 1 tbsp
Garam Masala - 1 tbsp
Ginger Garlic paste - 1 tbsp
little soya sause
one lemon juice


Mix thick curd and all the ingredients mentioned above in a bowl to make it a thick paste. Add the chicken pieces to this mix and coat evenly.

Transfer it into an aluminium container or airtight container and freeze it for 10 hours.

Heat the grill tawa with 2-3 drops of oil. Keep the chicken pieces and fry it in medium flame.

Fry both sides till its done.

The juicy grilled chicken is ready to serve. Enjoy the taste :)
