Kitchen Notes

Garlic and Ginger - Substitute with 2 tsp. ginger-garlic paste

 

Prep - As you can see in the picture, I removed the chicken skin before grilling.  I’m not a big fan of chicken skin unless it’s really, really crispy, so I always remove the skin and any visible fat when I grill or braise chicken pieces. To keep the chicken from sticking to the grill, there is oil to the marinade and you can spray or wipe the grill with oil before cooking the chicken.
