Roasted spicy chili chicken wings





I was craving for Chili Chicken since few weeks but not willing to have deep fried stuffs because of health issues. So tried this Roasted Chili Chicken where I used only 4 teaspoons of oil and it turned out to be very delicious!



Ingredients:
For marinating:...
Chicken 500-600 gm (you can use bone or boneless chicken cubes)
2 tbsp refined flour
2 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp of ginger-garlic paste
1 tsp red chili powder or little less
1 tsp black pepper powder
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp refined oil
Salt

For cooking:

1, large onion (cut into cubes)
2 cups bell pepper,cut into cubes-you can use green,red or yellow
2-3 green chilies,chopped
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
Salt & Sugar as per taste.
2 tbsp refined oil
1/2 cup water


Method:
Mix all the ingredients mentioned for marination with the water and make a smooth paste.

Add the chicken pieces into the paste & keep it for half an hour.

Preheat oven at 200 degree C,keep a oven proof plate under the grill rack to collect the juice.

Put the chicken pieces with marinade just coating the pieces on the rack.

Keep the remaining marinade aside.

Roast the chicken pieces for 10 minutes,then turn them and roast for another 5 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan,fry the chicken pieces in high flame till they turn brown.

Remove the chicken pieces and saute the bell peppers,chilies,onion and garlic till they become soft.

Now add the Soya sauce & tomato ketchup in the remaining marinade,mix well and check the seasoning.

Add in the veggies & stir well.

Finally add the chicken pieces and mix well.

Cook till the gravy thickens and coats the chicken pieces nicely.

Serve hot with Fried Rice.
