I would suggest to add little rum in the marinade and ajina moto.The small sized chicken if used tastes better.

Hi Snigdha, My mouth is already watering. I'll try this Chilly Chicken with Nans also. I think, being a gravy, it should taste good.

Hi. I am not very sure about how good it wil taste with Naan, but try and let me know. Steamed Rice would be a safe bet though :)
