Till now I do not know what is the exact difference between the broiler chicken and the country chicken. Only thing I feel is, country chicken (Naatu kozhi or kampong chicken in malay) is more tastier than normal broiler chicken. This recipe I took from makkal Tv’s – Suvai Payanam in you tube. This is very simple and easily prepared roast yet very tasty.

Ingredients

• Country Chicken – 2 thighs and 2 breast
• Curd – 2 tsp
• Chilli Powder – 4 tsp
• Ginger garlic paste – 2 tsp
• Lemon Juice – 2 tsp
• Salt – 1/2 tsp (or as per taste)
• Red colour – 2 pinch (optional)
• Coconut Oil – for frying

Method

• In a bowl, add chilli powder, curd, ginger garlic paste and salt.

• To this add lemon juice and mix nicely.

• Wash thighs and breast of chicken nicely with salt.
• Make slots in the chicken.

• Marinate the chicken with the prepared masala and inbetween the slots.

• Let it rest for 1 hr or refrigerate for 30 to 40 mts. (the more it rests, the more tastier).

• Now in a big kadai/wok, add coconut oil and heat in high flame.

• When the oil is hot, reduce the flame to medium and put the marinated chicken piece one by one and roast on both sides.

• When the color of chicken turns reddish brown, remove from oil.

• Spicy and tangy naatu kozhi varuval is ready to eat…
