Wash the chicken, wipe dry, prick in 2-3 places and mix all the ingredients, except those for garnishing, and
let marinate for 2-3 hours.Just before serving, place on a drip tray and grill till light brown, or bake in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes. If you can cook it in a tandoor, it is even better.
