Thanks to the Cookd team..!! Being a bachelor I can cook this very easily and the instructions were clear and the measurements were accurate... But I messed up with the quantity of lemon juice & marinated for 45 minutes... Still it tasted delicious tbh & the chicken was soft.. The lemon gave a rich tangy flavor & it turned into Lemon chicken curry... 😅❣️✨
