Notes
Always prep the ingredients beforehand and keep, as this is a fast-moving recipe.
Just keep in mind to not fry too many pieces of chicken in one pan, as they might stick to each other. You can add in about 7-8 Chicken Pieces in a medium-sized frying pan.
If you like it to be spicier, go ahead and add in more red chilies or red chili flakes.
Serve it immediately, because if you cook it and keep for longer, they will lose its crispiness and become soft.
You can deep fry it twice, to make them crispier.
