Critical Success Points

  • Blending the spice pastes to a smooth consistency
  • Pan‑searing the chicken until the skin is crisp
  • Sautéing the spice mixture until the oil separates

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful when handling hot oil during pan‑searing; splatter can cause burns.
  • If blending hot ingredients, allow them to cool slightly and vent the blender lid to avoid steam burns.
  • Use a stable cutting board and keep fingertips curled when chopping chilies.
