Roasted Chicken 65 | Staters recipe | Indian recipe

On a very very popular demand I am giving out the recipe of this dish. Frankly there isn't really a recipe I followed, I simply kept adding what ever kept coming in front of me in my pantry.  And the reason I named it roasted chicken 65 is because my husband is a great fan of chicken 65.(you really have to see his love for  this dish in person to believe me.)

Chicken 65 has many different stories as to why is it called so, some say its because it was prepared in the year 1965 for the Indian army soldiers in a small canteen in Chennai . Some say it took 65 days to prepare its marinate hence the name and the most popular which even I knew was it is prepared with 65 spices/chillies. The fact is no matter what the stories are the best Indian chicken stater which has been ever thought of is " The chicken 65 ".
