Dust cornflour using tea strainer all over the chicken.

Notes

If you do not want to make use of whole chicken simply replace it by using Chicken Wings or Drumsticks.
Washing and drying of chicken is really important thing, so that it bakes properly.
Yogurt need to be really thick so that it sticks to the chicken properly.
The red chilli powder I have used in the recipe seems to be a lot, but its a Degi Mirch powder which is absolutely milder version of paprika.
