Smoky Chicken Neck

Ingredients

• 1 kg Chicken Neck
• 2 tbsp Ginger Garlic Green Chilli paste
• 1 tbsp Ghee or Clarified Butter
• 1 tbsp Kashmiri Red Chilli powder
• 1 tsp Garam Masala
• 1 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1 tsp roasted Coriander powder
• 1 tsp roasted Cumin powder
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Steps

1. First of all, marinate chicken neck pieces with all the masalas and let it rest overnight in the refrigerator. But there is no such problem if you fry it after a brief resting. It depends on your time and convenience. If you have time, then let it rest overnight for the best results. In fact, it's the best way to follow for all deep frying and roasting dishes.
2. Deep fry the pieces till nice and crispy. The oil should be hot but the heat should be medium-high only. Otherwise, they will not cook well inside out. Hence maintaining a steady temperature is a must.
3. After frying, roast them on the gas directly for about 2 minutes on each side. It not only imparts a super delicious flavour but also gets a perfect texture rendering the neck pieces a smoky effect.
4. That's it. As simple as that. Pack it up and relish with a bunch of special friends and extended families on a relaxed weekend outing or a picnic or even a long distance travel. Enjoy!
