Notes

1. For this recipe many of us prefer breast piece of the chicken. But any parts goes well with this dish. And if you are like me, you will surely appreciate the juicy leg pieces as well on your plate. 
 
2. Don’t choose large pieces of chicken. Always choose medium and smaller one. It absorbs more spices, thus makes it more tasty.
 
3. Food color is totally optional. It give a catchy & attractive look in your grill chicken. Instead of that you can use ½ tsp of Kashmiri red chili powder for red color. 
 
4. If you want to get the burn texture on top of the chicken pieces then do it in a grill pan. More then 30 minutes grilling will make the chicken pieces less juicy. 
 
5. 5-8 hours is good enough to marinate the chicken. If you are on tropical or sub-tropical then do keep it inside refrigerator. If you don’t have that much of time, marinate for at least 2 hours.
 
6. If you don’t have oven, use a grill pan for this recipe. It will turn out as good as oven made.
 
7. Butter is also a good option to replace the oil. Although I have used mustard oil to cook the grill chicken. You can replace it with any kind of vegetable oil.
