3. Deep Cuts & Double Marination Strategy (Juicy Chicken Secret)

Ghar par chicken dryness se bachane aur masalon ko hadi (bone) tak pohanchane ke liye double marination sabse zaroori step hai:

1. Deep Cuts (Ghere Cheere): Chicken leg/breast pieces ko ache se dho kar kitchen paper se dry karein. Sharp knife se chicken par ghere cheere (deep slits) lagayein.
2. First Marination: Chicken par nimbu ka ras, adrak-lahsun paste aur namak laga kar 20 minute ke liye chhod dein. Nimbu aur namak chicken fibers ko soft karte hain aur chicken ka kachapan door karte hain.
3. Second Marination Prep: Ek bowl mein hung curd, garam sarson ka tel, Kashmiri lal mirch, kasuri methi, chaat masala aur saare dry spices daal kar smooth paste banayein.
4. Applying Paste: Is paste ko chicken pieces par aur slits ke andar achhi tarah haathon se bhar dein. Cover karke kam se kam 2 ghante (ya overnight) fridge mein marinate hone dein.

4. Tawa & Oven Cooking Methods Step-by-Step

Chicken marinate hone ke baad cooking ke 2 aasan tarike hain:

Method 1: Tawa / Heavy Kadhai Cooking (Without Oven)

1. Heavy bottom tawa ya grill pan mein 1 tbsp butter aur 1 tbsp oil garam karein.
2. High flame par marinated chicken pieces rakhein. 2 minute tak high flame par sekein taaki outer moisture lock ho jaye.
3. Ab flame ko medium-low karke lid (dhakan) se dhak dein aur 10-12 minute pakne dein.
4. Lid hatayein, chicken ko flip karein aur dusri taraf se bhi dhak kar 10 minute cook karein jab tak chicken tender na ho jaye.

5. Direct Gas Flame Toasting & Charcoal Dhungar Process

Tawa par cook hone ke baad tandoori touch dene ke liye yeh process karein:

• Gas Flame Charring: Chimte (tongs) se chicken piece ko pakad kar direct gas burner flame par 30 seconds ke liye har taraf se ghuma kar sek lein. Isse edges charred ho jayenge aur bilkul tandoor wala look aayega.
• Charcoal Dhungar Effect: Pan ke center mein steel katori rakhein, usme red-hot charcoal rakhein, 1/2 tsp ghee daalein aur 3 minute ke liye pan ko tight lid se dhak dein. Dhuwan chicken mein samane se authentic tandoori aroma aayega.
