We love making this at home—it’s a favorite with kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

  • 1 (-pound/800-gram) whole chicken
  • 1 teaspoon

Method

  1. Put the chicken on a clean work surface and remove the skin. With a sharp knife, cut in half through the backbone and breastbone. Cut each breast half into 2 pieces. Separate the drumstick from the thigh. You now have 8 pieces of chicken.
  2. Put the salt, chile powder, turmeric, ginger paste, garlic paste, cilantro, and lemon juice in a deep bowl and stir well.
