This is a simple yet delicious chicken recipe made on Mati handi (Clay Pot). It's a traditional method of slow cooking on Clay Pot which enhances the taste as well as texture. Clay Cooking Pot is easily available in the market.....I still remember, in my childhood my grandmother prepare all the food in clay pot that makes simple dishes extra special & flavourful.

Clay Pot & whole Garam Masala plays the vital role to make this roasted Chicken extraordinary. The earthy flavours made it more tempting & scrumptious.
