Introduction
A massive outdoor cooking recipe featuring 500 chicken drumsticks marinated in a freshly ground rustic Peri Peri masala paste, infused with charcoal smoke, and shallow fried to crispy perfection in traditional gingelly oil.
Step 1
Trim off the bone tips of the chicken drumsticks to clean them.
Step 2
Wash the trimmed chicken drumsticks thoroughly in clean water.
Step 3
On a traditional stone grinder, grind the fresh red chilies, garlic, sliced onions, and bay leaves into a coarse paste to make the fresh Peri Peri masala.
Step 4
Coarsely crush the black peppercorns on the stone grinder.
Step 5
Score each chicken drumstick with deep diagonal cuts on both sides so the marinade penetrates deep into the meat.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Scoring the chicken deeply is crucial for thick legs so that the flavors reach the bone.
The smoking step adds a distinct rustic BBQ flavor; make sure the lid seals tightly so the smoke doesn't escape.
Maintain steady heat under the large flat pan to cook the chicken evenly without burning the spices on the surface.
