Notes
- Marinating the chicken over night with spices and salt helps to tenderize the chicken, which allows it to absorb more flavor, and reduces the need for excess oil while cooking.
- Caramelizing onions adds a natural sweetness and rich flavor to the dish. Cook the onions on low heat until they are golden brown to enhance the taste.
- Using Coconut oil are healthier than regular vegetable oil which provide extra nutritional benefits.
