Tips :-
1. If possible soak the chicken in buttermilk before or add salt & sugar in water and brine it . Atleast for 3-4 hrs with this the chicken becomes nice n tender . Take it out and then put it in the marinade
2. Left the chicken in the marinade over night if possible the longer it stays in the marinade the better spices with infused in the chicken . I even leaves it for 24-48 hrs before cooking .
3. If cooking in an oven cook it on high temp
4. As soon as it comes out rub some butter to the juices remain intact n moisten the chicken n some lemon juice and chat masala if you like .
5. Serve with green chutney
