1 whole chicken or 6 legs and 3 breasts

1 onion
6 cloves garlic
Large slice of ginger
3 tbsp. lemon juice
8 oz. yogurt
1 tbsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. garam masala
1/4 tsp. mace
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayenne
4 tbsp. olive oil

I don't add this and I think its fine anyway, but to be authentic you should have it.

In the blender, make a paste of the onion, garlic, ginger and lemon juice.

Add the paste to all the other marinade ingredients. Put the chicken in the marinade. Overnight is best, but do it at least 4 hours.

To cook: the hi-tech way, cook the chicken halfway in the microwave (see your microwave instruction book for the time needed). Then put the chicken on the BBQ and brown it on both sides. Baste liberally with the marinade. Put the lid on the BBQ, shut off all the air vents and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Don't burn it. The traditional way: grill chicken near the flames for 7 to 8 minutes. Baste liberally with marinade. Raise the rack (if possible) or cover and shut the vents for 15 to 20 minutes on each side.
