• 4 Chicken thighs, skinless and bone-in (You could also use drumsticks) 
• 5 Large garlic pods
• 1 Inch piece of ginger

• Grind the ginger, garlic and chillies into a fine paste. 
• Add the paste, salt, garam masala, lemon juice and 1 Tbsp oil to a mixing bowl.
• Make 2-3 slits across the chicken thighs and add the chicken to the marinade. Mix well and then in a zip lock bag or non metallic bowl set the chicken aside in the fridge for about 2 hours.

• Now place the chicken pieces onto a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and pour a little oil on all the pieces. Place them into the oven.
• Bake for about 30-35 minutes till the chicken pieces get brown and crispy. Serve hot.
