Notes
You can adjust spices according to your taste.
You can either use boneless chicken or chicken with bones.
For chilli sauce I used Frank's Red hot original but you can use any chilli sauce available to you or you like.
For soy sauce I used Maggie hot liquid seasoning but you can use any light to medium soy sauce of your taste.
Thank You!
