Tips:
1. Always before marination, meat should be dry completely (no water in it). it will help to stick marinade in chicken properly.
2. Pricking is very important to enter the marinade inside the chicken to make it more flavourful.
3. You can take chicken thigh fillet as well. breast fillet is more healthy as it contains less fat & more fiber.
4. Veggies can be added as per your choice. you can add carrots, avocado, any other variety of tomato/lettuce etc.
5. Spice quantity can be adjusted as per your taste.
