Naadan Kozhi Roast- Spicy Roast Chicken, A recipe from Kerala

I just made this yesterday at a friends house as catering request. Its fun and easy to make, tastes fabulous and is the best thing to serve with your every day rice and dal. I got the recipe from the book - Chef's Favourites from the Taj, which was a gift given to me by Lakshmi Lal. So thank you Lakshmi !

The recipe calls for cooking this dish in coconut oil, which if you want to replace with any other cooking oil is fine.
