Oven Cooked Dum Ka Chicken (Murghi) is a popular chicken recipe from the state of Hyderabad in India. Dum refers to the process of cooking food in a sealed pot over low heat, which creates a steam bath that makes the food more tender, flavorful, and aromatic. This recipe is a simplified version of the traditional Hyderabadi recipe, which calls for cooking the chicken in a heavy-bottomed pot called a handi. The use of a roasting pan and an oven makes the cooking process less time-consuming and more accessible to home cooks. The dish pairs well with rice, naan, or roti, and is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a weekend feast with friends.

4.Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours in the fridge.

6.Transfer the marinated chicken and its marinade to a roasting pan.
