Method

Reduce the heat to 200°C, turn the chicken, and bake for 15 to 25 minutes until cooked through.

Place chicken on the baking sheet and bake at 225°C for 20 minutes.

Coat the chicken in the paste and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 225°C.

Heat the vegetable oil in a roasting pan in the oven for 15 minutes.

Season the breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and cumin.

Serve the chicken on a dish with lemon wedges.

Crush the ginger, garlic, and chillies in a mortar to make a paste and combine with the other marinade ingredients.

Dredge each chicken piece in the breadcrumbs, then dip in beaten egg, and coat again in crumbs.
