Expert Tips for the Best Chatpata Murgh Raan

For extra flavor, add a pinch of garam masala or chili powder along with the capsicum.
If you don't have access to pre-marinated chicken, you can easily marinate your own chicken thighs using a blend of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and your favorite Indian spices.
Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your chicken pieces and your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green chilies before serving for an extra pop of flavor and color.
