Last saturday 'he' brought a whole chicken from market. I got really panicked because I have never cooked whole chicken before. Immediately I googled for some ideas. First thought was 'murg mussallam' but then my eyes got stuck to a picture of whole roasted chicken and we both love chicken roast. So, the final decision was 'whole tandoori chicken'. The name itself describes it's scrumptiousness. Everybody loves tandoori chicken, then why not with a whole chicken??
