Ingredients

400 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs (Make a few shallow slits in the thighs.)
2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp black pepper (The source also refers to this as pepper powder.)
1 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp sugar
20 ml lime juice (Juice of 1 whole lime.)
1 tbsp ghee
fresh coriander (A handful, for garnish.)
lime juice (Juice of ¼ lime, for garnish.)
1 tsp chaat masala (For garnish.)
3 tbsp high-protein Greek yogurt (For the dip.)
2 cloves garlic (Finely minced; for the dip.)
1 tbsp fresh coriander (Chopped; for the dip.)
lime juice (Juice of ¼ lime; for the dip.)
0.25 tsp salt (For the dip.)
0.5 tsp black pepper (For the dip.)

Steps

1
Place the chicken thighs in a bowl. Make a few shallow slits in each thigh so the marinade can penetrate.
2
Add the ginger-garlic paste, salt, chili flakes, black pepper, oregano, sugar, lime juice, and ghee to the bowl.
3
Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly in the marinade, making sure the seasoning covers all sides.
4
Set the chicken aside to marinate for 30 minutes, or overnight for the best flavor. If short on time, cook it immediately.
5
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken along with all of the marinade.
6
Fry the chicken for 8 minutes on the first side.
7
Turn the chicken over and fry for another 8 minutes, for 16 minutes total, until cooked through.
8
Garnish the cooked chicken with fresh coriander, the juice of ¼ lime, and chaat masala.
9
For the dip, combine the high-protein Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped coriander, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
10
Stir the dip until smooth and serve it alongside the chicken. The dip is optional.

Notes

The post reports nutrition for the chicken only as approximately 650 calories, 80 g protein, 8 g carbohydrates, and 33 g fat. The transcript says the dip is optional. The source says to cook the chicken for 8 minutes per side but does not provide an internal temperature; verify that the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
