Delicious Chicken Sajji( Whole Chicken)

Ingredients:

6 chicken leg quarters with slits
Salt 2 tsp
White vinegar 2-3 tbsp
Ginger paste 1 tbsp
Garlic paste 1 tbsp
2 cups water

Make a brine with the above ingredients and soak the chicken legs in the mixture for 4-6 hours.

Sajji spice mix:

1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 pod black cardamom
3-4 green cardamom pods
1/2 tsp coriander seeds
6 cloves
1/2 fennel seeds
1/2 tsp black pepper corns (more or less according to taste)

DRY ROAST ALL THE ABOVE INGREDIENTS. Then, in a coffee grinder, finely grind with 1/2 tsp dry pomegranate seeds (I substituted with sumac). Add some salt according to taste, but remember that the chicken has been sitting in salted brine for a few hours.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Roast for about an hour or until fully cooked and tender, turning every 20 minutes. You can BBQ it or steam it in a pot too. Serve with sides of your choice.

ENJOY! It's very delicious and fall-of-the-bone tender!
