Some tips for you
- Marination is an important step to get a juicy chicken.
- Chilli chicken tastes the best when the chicken is crispy. Make sure your ingredients are easily accessible to avoid delay.
- Don’t deep fry the chicken as it may overcook. We need it to be juicy enough.
- The combination of sauces as per your wish. You can add oyster sauce to give it a brownish look or a red chilli sauce with red chilli powder to give it reddish look.
- If you want chicken chilli to be dry, don’t add 100 ml water. However, if you want to eat with roti/paratha/rice make a little gravy.
