This recipe works with on the bone and off the bone chicken you just may need to alter cooking times 

Ingredients 

Chicken drum sticks, de-skinned and a few slices to the bone (to get the marinade in deep)

1 Heaped Tbsp Greek yogurt 

3 tsp Punjabi Masala 

1 tsp Garam Masala 

1 Tbsp ginger paste 

1 Tbsp Garlic paste 

Bunch of fresh coriander (Finely Chopped, leave some for garnish)

Chilli (optional) 

half tsp salt (or to taste)

1 freshly squeezed lemon

1 cinnamon stick

Chuck all of the above into a large mixing bowl and give it a really good mix. Let marinate for at least 4 hours over night is best (cover with lid/foil)

Pre heat the oven @190, in a normal standard oven dish add a touch of olive oil then add everything to the roasting tray with a splash of water. After 15 mins turn the chicken and cook for a further 15 mins. Times may alter depending on the oven, when the chicken is cooked remove. I use microwave rice. it easy fast and the perfect size portion for me. Simply add the cooked rice to the roasting tray and mix with the juices and left over marinade 

Now simply plate up and make it look pretty on the plate. 

Garnish with left over coriander and red chilli
