Notes
You can reduce the marination time according to your availability. More time it is marinated chicken will be very juicy and tender.
Adjust the spice powders. I always have it as mild spice so kids can also eat.
Original recipe asked to deep fry the chicken. But I felt if you marinate for longer shallow frying is enough.
