Great recipe. My husband has been dying to make our own chili chicken after loving it at Ghareeb Nawaz on Devon in Chicago. We made our own tandoori spice mix http://indian.food.com/recipe/tandoori-masala-spice-mix-333539 and used Ziyad brand red hot pepper sauce. It was spicy but actually not quite as hot as what we were going for, probably due to the brand of chili paste. So next time (and there will be a next time!) we make it we'll probably add some extra chili powder or try a different chili paste. It was fabulous with homemade roti. Thank you so much for the recipe!

Phenomenal recipe! Chili chicken is one of my favorite dishes at the Pakistani/Indian restaurants on Chicago's Devon ave. I tried so many recipes to replicate it at home to no avail until I found this one. This tastes exactly like the real thing. I'm amazed at how ridiculously easy it is to cook. This one is a keeper for sure. Thanks for a gem of a recipe Bint e Naeem.

Today I do not know how I opened Pakistani recipes on the genius kitchen. I am following this food blog from a long time and I am in more love with it after discovering Pakistani recipes. I am so happy to find an easier version of chili chicken. I never thought that I can make it with this much ease at home. Thank you so much for a great share.
