Recipe Preparation
- 1.5 lbs chicken breast
- 3 cups yogurt
- 1 tbsp chili sauce
- 1 tbsp masala seasoning
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup honey
Step Description
1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl with yogurt, chili sauce, masala seasoning, and salt. Mix well and marinate for about 2 hours.

After marinating, remove the chicken and drain excess liquid. Coat evenly with flour and set aside.

Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (177°C). Use a ThermoPro TP510 Oil Thermometer to make sure the oil has reached the proper temperature. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and crispy. Toss with the honey sauce before serving.

To make the honey sauce, combine honey, lemon juice, butter, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and onion powder in a pan. Heat until fully melted and mixed.

To make the mac & cheese, start by melting butter in a pan. Add salt, black pepper, chili powder, and heavy cream. Stir in shredded Mexican cheese and bring to a gentle boil.
6
Add pre-cooked macaroni, mix well, then top with additional Mexican cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly
