Step 4/7
- ⅓ tbsp ghee (for frying)
- Large nonstick skillet

Place large skillet on medium-high heat and wait a few minutes to heat up. To know when the skillet is ready, wet your hands with some water and flick it on the skillet. If the skillet sizzles, then the skillet is ready. Put the 1 tablespoon of ghee in the large skillet to fry and swirl the skillet around for a few seconds to marinade the skillet. Then put the seasoned chicken into the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Then place cooked chicken into a medium sized bowl and set it aside.
