Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken breast instead of other cuts?
Yes, chicken breast works well; just adjust cooking time to avoid drying out.
How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
Cook until the chicken turns golden brown and its internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Can I substitute butter with something else?

Is it necessary to use cornflour in this recipe?
Cornflour helps coat the chicken for crispiness and thickens the sauce, but you can use all-purpose flour as an alternative.
Can I prepare the sauce in advance?
Yes, but it's best to add the sauce to the chicken right before serving to maintain texture and flavor.
How can I make the dish less spicy?
Reduce or omit the pepper and ginger garlic paste to lower the spice level.
