Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 skinless chicken thighs, with bones
1 (8 ounce) can tomatoes, drained
6 teaspoons tomato paste (really)
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon garam masala, spice blend
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 inches fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lime, juice of
1 lemon, juice of
lemon slice, to garnish
lime slice, to garnish

Steps:

  • Slash through the meaty part of the thighs with a knife 2 or 3 times, then set into a shallow non-metal casserole (such as a glass pyrex baking dish).

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to marinate the chicken. This will help to evenly coat the chicken with the marinade and ensure that it is flavorful throughout.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade while it is cooking. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
