Sekela Chicken

So this is the dish I tried last night.. My husband and brother absolutely loved it! Worth a try, see the steps below:

First Marination:
Take a big bowl (that can hold your chicken pieces) and put the following ingredients inside: 2 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Sugar, half cup White Vinegar, Juice of 1 Lemon and any fresh herbs of your choice.. Mix all of these together with "cold" water and put in your chicken pieces (Remember to slit your chicken pieces). The chicken pieces need to be completely submerged in this mixture. Refrigerate it for approximately 4 hours. This step will give your chicken perfect moistness.

Second Marination:
After the above is completed, throw out the marination, wash the chicken and start the second marination as follows: 1tbsp Tomato Purée, 2 tsp Ginger & Garlic Paste,1tsp Salt,1tsp Lemon Juice, 1tsp Vinegar, 1tbsp Paprika Powder, 1tsp Harder, 1 tbsp oil..

Marinade ur chicken in this for another 4 hours atleast in the fridge, preferably over night.

Method:

Foil ur baking tray, then oven bake at 180degrees or 200 degrees for 15min then turn chicken other side and let it bake for another 15min. Make sure the chicken is cooked and note that the sauces can get burnt so be careful with ur heat, If you feel chicken is not ready and masala is burning then probably your heat is too high so reduce ur heat and close the foil.

Good Luck!! ;)
