  • While the chicken is getting marinated, let’s put our brains on how to make it now.
  • Well, I have these options; in case you have another one please do let me know in the comments. I’d be happy to try them out, too 😀 The options I have used to cook it are –
  • Gas / Electric Grill / Barbecue Grill / Air fryer / Oven too (though it comes out a bit dry!!)

  • Heat the pan and drizzle some oil or ghee
  • Place the chicken pieces
  • Cook on medium heat for 5-7minutes
  • Flip and cook the other side
  • Flip again after 5-7minutes
  • Do Not Cover & Cook
