Notes

Both bone in and boneless chicken can be used to prepare Chicken Changezi.

Instead of a skillet or pan, chicken can be cooked in Oven also. Cook chicken around 200°C until the chicken is 80% done or until it starts getting slightly caramelised on top.

Instead of regular red chilli powder try using Kashmiri red chili powder.
