Flavorful Tamil Nadu Chicken Chukka (Pan-Roasted Chicken)

Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or longer in the refrigerator) allows the flavors to penetrate deeply, resulting in more flavorful chicken.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you have a large amount of chicken, cook it in batches to ensure even browning and cooking.
Adjust the spice level: Feel free to adjust the amount of red chili powder based on your preference for heat. Start with less and add more if needed.
Use good quality spices: Freshly ground spices will enhance the overall flavor of your dish.
