🍖 Chicken Roast – A Flavorful Celebration on a Plate!
Some dishes aren’t just food — they’re pure celebration. And Chicken Roast is exactly that. Whether it’s for a Sunday lunch, a family get-together, or a special treat for yourself, the rich aroma and golden perfection of a home-style roast chicken bring joy to every heart and home.
Let’s talk about how to make the perfect, juicy, spice-kissed Chicken Roast that’ll make your kitchen smell like heaven!
🌶️ What Is Chicken Roast?
Chicken Roast isn’t deep-fried or curry-based. It’s dry, intensely flavored, and cooked till the masalas coat the chicken perfectly — golden on the outside, juicy inside. It’s a favorite in Kerala, Bengal, Punjab, and beyond, each with its own twist!
đź“‹ Ingredients:
For 4 servings:
-
500g chicken (bone-in or boneless, as you like)
-
2 medium onions (thinly sliced)
-
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
-
2 green chilies (slit)
-
2 medium tomatoes (chopped or pureed)
-
1/2 cup thick curd (yogurt)
-
1 tsp red chili powder
-
1/2 tsp turmeric
-
1 tsp coriander powder
-
1/2 tsp garam masala
-
Salt to taste
-
Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)
-
2–3 tbsp oil or ghee
-
Lemon juice (optional)
👩‍🍳 How to Make Chicken Roast:
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix curd, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric, salt, and chicken. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (1–2 hours for best flavor).
2. Prepare the Masala
In a pan, heat oil or ghee. Add onions and sauté until golden brown. Add green chilies, chopped tomatoes, and cook until soft and oil separates.
3. Roast the Chicken
Add the marinated chicken to the pan. Stir on high heat for a few minutes to seal in the flavor.
Then lower the heat, cover, and cook until chicken is tender and the masala coats the pieces nicely. Roast uncovered for the final few minutes to get that lovely dry texture and golden color.
4. Finish and Serve
Sprinkle garam masala and fresh coriander. Add a squeeze of lemon if you like.
Serve hot with paratha, pulao, or just as is!
