Method

                                     Grilling Chicken in our Apt complex

• Clean and marinate the chicken pieces with all the ingredients in the list.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour (longer the best)
• Thaw for 10 minutes,Mean while get ready the grill and make it hot.
• When the grill is ready,place Chicken pieces and close the lid of the grill.
• Operate your grill according to the manual.Usually it takes 30 - 40 minutes to cook chicken in a grill. 
• When one side of chicken  is done,flip it over and cook the other side.
• When both sides becomes brown,check by tasting a small piece of chicken.
• Switch off the grill and take out the grilled chicken.
• Garnish with Onion,Tomato and lemon wedges

Notes 

• You can bake this chicken in an oven at 350 deg F for 30- 45 minutes.Flip it over when 1 side is done.Finally broil the chicken for 1 or 2 minutes for a nice brown,crispier outer coating.(Don't keep in broil for more than 3 minutes,it will burn)Keep an eye on this chicken while broiling.
• This is an easy appetizer if you have any guest.You can keep this in oven and mean while prepare other ingredients.
• You can also make fried rice and use this chicken as pieces for chicken fried rice.
• I didn't use any colour,its purely optional.
• You can cover the chicken stick with aluminium foil(optional).
• By this way,you can have a healthy food with out any extra oil,all the butter was oozed out from the chicken and it helped the flame to burn.
