* You can get ready made Roasted or Tandoori chicken spice mix from any Indian or Pakistani grocery store.

Directions

1. Mix all the ingredients and coat the chicken pieces(Stir until well-mixed, then pour the mixture over the chicken and rub it into the flesh, turning the chicken several times.). Marinade in a refrigerator for a few hours, discarding any liquid collected. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.

*Marination times can very depending how much time u want to invet for this awesome and tasty dish. More u marinate more, it becomes more tasty. But dont kept it for more than 7-8 hrs.

2. The chicken may be grilled or roasted. If using a charcoal grill, prepare a fire for direct-heat cooking. Position the grill rack 5 inches from the fire. Allow the coals to burn until white ash covers them and the heat is moderate.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, pressing lightly to extract excess marinade, and brush with oil. Place the chicken pieces on a well-oiled grill rack and; grill, covered, with the vents open, turning 3 or 4 times, 45 minutes or until the juices run clear when a piece is pierced near the bone with a knife.

If roasting, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan, brush with oil, and cook, turning once, 25 to 30 minutes until the juices run clear when a piece is pierced near the bone with a knife.

3. Serve with a fresh green salad, onion, tomatoes and wedges of lemon.

I can imagine the aroma of this. It'll be one to torment the neighbors as they will smell it, but it's not likely that they'll get any. Well, they'll have to be quick.
