    List of Ingredients




    Rinse and dry chicken, remove all fat (and skin if desired). Make 2 diagonal cuts on thigh and leg (separate if desired for easier handling later).
    Juice from one lemon
    2 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. cumin seed
    1 tsp. coriander seed
    1 tsp. crushed dried red pepper
    1 large onion cubed

    1/2 C Vegetable oil
    1 tbsp. vinegar
    1 C yogurt


    Recipe



    Recipe
    Put all above ingredients (except yogurt and chicken) into blender and blend until smooth. Add yogurt.
    Pour over chicken. Turn chicken to coat all surfaces and let marinate at least 4 hours at room temperature or overnight in refrigerator. (Actually I like this so much sometimes I don't event let it marinate, I just mix all the ingredients together and cook it as described below.)
    Bring chicken to room temperature to roast.
    Place chicken in well buttered roasting pan just large enough to hold chicken
    Pour marinade over chicken - DO NOT cover with foil or lid
    Place in lower third of preheated 375 oven
    Roast for 30 minutes basting a couple of times. Turn chicken to other side and repeat. Check for doneness.
    Serve with rice.
