Quick 'n Super Easy Chicken Recipe

Whenever I make chicken, my hubby gets really impateint by the time its ready. He wanted something quick and thats when I got this recipe from my Dad! Yepp, my Dad. The only time he gets in the kitchen is to cook chicken:) Thats the only dish he has mastered apart from 'fish'!

This recipe needs minimum ingredients and can be made in a jiffy. And its really yumm! Dunno what to call it though... lemme know if you can think of a good name for it :)

Herez what you will need:
Canola Oil/Butter
Ginger-garlic paste
Black pepper
Salt
Red chilli pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
4Pc Chicken Drumsticks

Serves: 2
Approx cooking time: 30mins

Mix ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, salt and red chilli pepper. Rub this paste on the Chicken drumsticks and let it sit for 10 mins.(I sometime prick the chicken a little with a fork so that the spices seep in)

Heat oil/butter in a heavy bottomed Pan(non-stick) on medium heat. Add ginger-garlic paste, salt and some blackpepper to it. Stir for a minute and then add the marinated chicken peices. Cover the pan.

After every 5 minutes, turn the chicken peices so that they get equally brown on all side. The chicken is ready when its golden brown and soft enough to cut with a spoon.
