Step 1
Load firewood into the brick oven and start the fire to preheat the oven thoroughly.
Step 2
Trim the wing tips and excess skin from whole chickens, then wash them thoroughly in water.
Step 3
Lay clean chickens onto a cloth to thoroughly pat dry.
Step 4
Prepare the marinade by mixing turmeric, paprika, ground black pepper, salt, tomato paste, and liquid in a bowl until smooth.
Step 5
Generously brush and rub the marinade all over each chicken, inside the cavity and across the skin.

Important Notes
This recipe is based on visual cooking observation; adjust seasoning, fire heat, and cooking times according to your cooking environment.
Ensure the brick oven is preheated well and hot coals are cleared or pushed to the sides so the heat radiates evenly without burning the chicken skins.
Steaming charred roasted vegetables in a covered container makes peeling away their bitter skin quick and effortless.
