HOW TO MAKE BHUT JOLOKIA GRILLED CHICKEN
I’ve used chicken breast with bones and skin intact. First a smooth paste is made by mixing all the ingredients. Then the paste is smeared nicely over the chicken breast and kept aside to marinate for few minutes. It is recommended to marinate the chicken for atleast 30 minutes to 1 hour. The chicken is then grilled in an oven at 180° C for 5 minutes each on both sides. Later the temperature is increased to 200° C and grill for another 3-4 minutes on each sides.
