Indian Roast Chicken
One evening I was out of ideas for dinner. I was suddenly craving for a chicken dinner. I remembered that its been a while since I roasted a whole chicken. So decided to make a spicy indian version of roast chicken chicken. I asked hubby to get a whole chicken with skin on because I wanted my roast chicken to have a crispy skin.
About Indian Roast Chicken
Even though, many indian roast chicken recipe calls for chicken without skin mainly tandoori chicken. I decided to make a simple spicy version of roast chicken which doesn't has curd and other tenderizing stuffs. The skin is what protects the chicken from drying out.
So I made this chicken with skin and it was definitely worth the effort. The chicken was so moist and just came right off the bone. It was one juicy, spicy roast chicken chicken. Believe it or not, me and hubby finished the whole chicken by ourselves. We just had this with some garlic sauce and pita bread.
You will love my charcoal chicken and oven roasted chicken with vegetables.

I have tried several roasted chicken recipes, and while I love making roasted chicken, they always tasted very bland to me. Your recipe is absolutely delicious and I'm so happy that I have found your blog! I'm going to enjoy readying through your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing!

This is urgent! My chicken is in the OTG with the 'bake' mode selected. In the bake mode, only the two heating elements at the bottom are active. The ones on the top are off. Is this alright or do I have to change the mode on my OTG to 'toast' or 'broil'?
Aarthi
You should have both heating element from top and bottom should be on. so adjust it accordingly.
Divya
i also have same doubt - as per Aarthi both the rods on means its Roast setting. Which mode you tried and what was the result? plsss dvise, i wanna try this
Richa
