Method
To a small blender jar, add the eggs, garlic, salt, sugar and lemon juice. Blend it for a few seconds to combine.
Drizzle the oil gradually in a thin stream while blending on low speed. Do not over-mix. Stop when the mayonnaise is thick. You can use more or less oil as needed.
In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the brine until everything is dissolved.
Make slits on the thicker parts of the whole chicken, especially the breast and legs. Add the chicken to the brine and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally for 2 hours.
For the marination, add the de-seeded Kashmiri chillies to a pot of boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes or until the chillies are tender.
Add it to a blender along with all the other ingredients for the marination. Blend it to a smooth paste.
Take the chicken out of the brine and pat it completely dry using a cloth or thick paper towels.
Apply the marination all over the chicken and inside it too. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, but preferably for 6 hours.
Secure the legs and wings of the chicken by tying with a twine or by using toothpicks.
In a large heavy-bottomed utensil, add salt and heat it on high for 15 minutes.
Place a plate and a metal ring/bowl inside. Place the chicken on the ring, and make sure that chicken does not touch the sides of the utensil.
Cover and cook on medium heat for 30 minutes.
Open the lid, brush the chicken with the rendered fat and cook for another 30 minutes.
Take out the chicken. Place it on an oiled wire rack directly on the stove. Sear it on all sides so that the skin gets seared and browned.
