Method:
1. Slice chicken thin for faster, even cooking.
2. In a bowl, mix oil + Kashmiri chilli powder first (this helps release the vibrant red color).
3. Add all remaining marinade ingredients and mix well.
4. Add chicken, coat properly, and marinate:
• Minimum: 1–2 hours
• Best: Overnight
• Do not exceed 20 hours in fridge

Smoke It:

Place a small bowl in the marinated chicken, add hot charcoal, pour ghee over it, cover immediately for 4–5 minutes.

You can smoke:
• During marination (subtle smoke)
• After grilling (balanced smoke)
• Before serving (strong smoky flavor)

Grill on a pan until golden brown (or oven at 220°C for 5–6 mins).
Let it rest, then shred into thin strips.
