Critical Success Points

  • Mix the spicy paste until fully smooth.
  • Coat the chicken thoroughly and let it rest briefly.
  • Cook the chicken until mostly done before adding cheese.
  • Broil just until the cheese is bubbly and golden; do not over‑cook.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with clean hands and sanitize all surfaces after use.
  • Hot oil can splatter; use a splatter guard or keep the pan partially covered.
  • The broiler is extremely hot; use oven mitts and keep a clear area around the oven.
