✅ Marinate Overnight for Maximum Flavor – While a 2-hour marinade is good, letting the chicken sit overnight will make it even more flavorful and tender.
✅ Use Bone-In Chicken for Juicier Results – Boneless thighs work well, but bone-in thighs or drumsticks stay extra juicy and hold up better to grilling.
✅ Get That Authentic Smoky Flavor – If you want that restaurant-style smoky taste, try the dhungar method:
✅ Don’t Skip the Greek Yogurt! – The acidic nature of Greek yogurt breaks down proteins, making the chicken extra tender and juicy.
✅ For Extra Crispiness, Air Fry It! – Air frying at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes gives you crispy edges and juicy inside—the best of both worlds!
✅ Use a Meat Thermometer for Perfect Cooking – Chicken is ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Overcooking can make it dry.
✅ Pair It with a Cooling Sauce – Serve with a simple cucumber yogurt sauce (Greek yogurt + grated cucumber + mint) to balance the spice.
✅ Make It Meal-Prep Friendly – Marinate a batch in advance and freeze in Ziploc bags. Just thaw and cook when ready for a quick, flavorful meal.
