Treat your ingredients with care...

• Chicken — Ensure that the chicken is thoroughly cleaned and pat it dry before marinating. This will help the spices adhere better to the meat and enhance the flavor.

• For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture.
• Marinate the chicken overnight for a more intense flavor.
• Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a tangy twist.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking.
• Experiment with different cuts of chicken, such as boneless thighs or drumsticks, to suit your preference.
