Notes

  • Adding red chili flakes is just for extra spiciness. This is completely optional.
  • Marinate the chicken atleast for 2 hours before grilling. You can marinate it overnight too, if time permits.
  • If the chicken dries out while grilling, then brush some leftover marinade and then continue the grilling process.
  • The leftover marinade is cooked in a pan over medium heat to serve as a sauce on the side. 
  • While making the sauce to serve as the side, adding paprika is completely optional. Ignore if you do not want it spicy.
  • Do not over cook the sauce. Remember that it thickens more as it cools down. So, remove from heat appropriately.
  • You can garnish the chicken with fresh or dried parsley leaves.
