• Make sure to let the chicken rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute and keep it moist.

• To reheat, you can either microwave it or warm it in a skillet over medium heat.
• Serve the Chettinad Flavoured Grilled Chicken as a main dish with steamed rice, naan bread, or a fresh salad.
