Notes
1. You can adjust red chili flakes, black pepper, and green chili according to your taste.
2. I used chicken with bones, but you can use boneless chicken.
3. Usually, people just fry the chicken and make the devil. But, I personally like to boil the chicken before frying them. So that you can feel the tenderness even inside the chicken pieces.
