Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Clean and wash the chicken legs, then make incisions to allow the marinade to penetrate deeply. |
| 2 | Apply ginger-garlic paste evenly over the chicken legs, ensuring they are well coated, and allow them to marinate for 20 minutes. |
| 3 | In a separate bowl, combine white pepper, fresh cream, cashew nut paste, egg yolk, chopped green chili, garam masala, and salt to create the marinade. |
| 4 | Add the marinade to the chicken legs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated, then refrigerate for 4 and a half hours to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to tenderize. |
| 5 | Preheat the oven to medium heat and place the marinated chicken legs on a roasting rack to ensure even cooking. |
| 6 | Bake the chicken legs in the preheated oven for 12 minutes until they are partially cooked through. |
| 7 | Remove the chicken from the oven and baste it generously with ghee or clarified butter to add richness and flavor. |
| 8 | Return the chicken to the oven and grill for an additional 8 minutes, turning the drumsticks once midway through the grilling process to ensure they are evenly cooked and develop a golden-brown crust. |
| 9 | Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle with chaat masala for a tangy kick of flavor. |
| 10 | Serve the Afghani Chicken Tangri Kawabs hot, garnished with raw onion rings and accompanied by fresh lime wedges for a delightful culinary experience. |
