Take out the chicken 20 to 30 mins before cooking

Use one of the following ways to cook your chicken:

ON STOVE

Add 1 tbsp of oil to a grill pan or frying pan.

Add your chicken pieces and grill them on high heat for 3 mins each side (this will give you a nice charred look and will seal the chicken juices)

Cover the pan with a lid and cook the chicken at low heat for 8 mins.

Flip the pieces over, cover and cook for another 8 mins.

Serve hot

IN THE OVEN.1. Add 1 tbsp of oil to a grill pan or frying pan.

2. Add your chicken pieces and grill them on high heat for 3 mins each side (this will give you a nice charred look and will seal the chicken juices)

3. Cover the chicken with foil and keep in a preheated oven for 30 mins at 190 °C

ON AN OUTDOOR BBQ GRILL1. This one’s pretty upfront. Just grill it till you see a nice charred look. Keep coating the chicken with oil every 5 to keep the juices sealed in. Flip the chicken every-time you coat it with oil. It will roughly take about 20 mins to be done
