Notes

1. Don’t forget to drizzle the sweet and spicy mayo sauce on the chicken. I forgot to put it on the chicken while shooting.
2. Red chilli paste can be made by boiling the dry chillies for few minutes and then grinding them to a paste.
3. Iceberg lettuce is much better than the normal romaine lettuce as the former will be super crispy.
