Country Chicken or Desi Murg is a great option for any day. Known as Naatu Kodi in Telugu language, it is usually bred for it's taste and flavour. Unlike the commercial Chicken that are bred for their meat.
This one is a good direct roast that's done in an Air Fryer and not on a barbecue. And this had made it pretty much easier for me. I just had the marinade ready. And then it was left in the refrigerator overnight. And next day, the well marinated Chicken Roast was the highlight of our family Dinner. Easy and done in the comfort of your homes, this Country Chicken Roast is a delightful mixture of beautiful aromatic flavours and texture.
Country Chicken have a slight edge in nutritional value in terms of fat content and crude Fiber. And same goes with Protein too. The skin is rich in unsaturated fats that are beneficial to Heart. These are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids often associated with the reduced risk of chronic diseases. Therefore Country Chicken are definitely a perfect choice than the regular broilers.

They are not like regular Chicken in their looks but have a distinct colourful penne and mostly graze in the open. The meat is slightly tougher than the White poultry meat but when cooked is juicy and soaks in the spices beautifully.

Steps

35-40 minutes

1

Prepare the chicken by making gashes so that marinade can soak in. This is the country chicken or the desi murg so it requires a good long standing marination.
2

To marinate the chicken, in a large mixing bowl, mix together curd, ginger garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, salt, garam masala powder, lemon juice and oil. Mix well. Reserve some marinade for later use in the refrigerator.
3

Add in the chicken and rub in the marinade well. Marinate preferably overnight for best results.
4

Before cooking, pre-heat the air fryer at 180°C for 5 minutes.
5

Brush the air fryer grill well with oil. Add in the chicken, breast side down. Baste with half of the remaining marinade on top. Brush it with oil. Cook at 180°C for 18-20 minutes.
6

Turn over the chicken. Baste it with oil. Cook for another 18-20 minutes at 180°C or until it looks perfectly coloured and is well done. The time it takes will depend on the size of the chicken and the air fryer. Let it rest for a few minutes.
7

The Air Fried Country Chicken Roast is ready to serve. Serve with pan-roasted vegetables and lemon slices. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
