Kerala style Baked chicken

INGREDIENTS:

Whole chicken - 1.2 lbs ( I used cornish chicken. It's a small chicken and sufficient for two people)
Lime juice - 2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Chilli powder - 1 tsp (reduce it according to your needs)
Coriander powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Pepper- 1/2 tsp
Yoghurt - 1 tbsp
Vegetable Oil - 4 tbsp
Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS:
1. Marinate the chicken with lime juice and salt.
2. In a bowl, mix the remaining ingredients and rub it on the chicken. You can leave the skin on or take it off. In the picture, the chicken is baked with the skin on.
3. If marinade is too dry, add 1 or 2 tbsp of water.
4. Marinate it for minimum 15 mins. the longer the better.
5. Preheat oven to 375 deg F.
6. Grease the baking pan and place the chicken with breast side on top. Thisis because, it takes longer for the breast meat to cook.
7. Bake this side for 45 mins, then turn over the chicken and bake for another 20 mins.
8. After that, bake again for 15 mins with breast side up. Baking time may vary depending on the weight, so make sure that the chicken is cooked properly before you pop it out.
9. Also during baking, try basting the chicken with a little butter or with the juices that run out of the chicken. This will keep the skin moist.
10. As an added attraction, you can try filling the cavity with boiled eggs or steamed veggies!
