Tips
- Do not overcook your chicken because it will have a rubbery texture, just wait for it to have a golden brown crust.
- When cooking the tomato paste, make sure to do it on low heat to cook out the raw tomato flavor. This ensures a richer and more balanced taste.
- You can use red pepper flakes or Trader Joe's crunchy chili onion for the same spicy kick.
- You can use fresh or jarred garlic, according to your preference
