  4. Deep fry the chicken in oil on medium flame until golden brown. Do not fry until it turns dark brown as it won't be soft anymore. Set aside.

  2. Remove from the heat, peel the skin, and add it to a food processor/blender along with chili powder. Grind until a smooth paste.

  3. In a pan, heat cooking oil and add minced garlic. Sauté garlic until aromatic on medium to low flame.

  5. Add the honey, give a final stir, and add the fried chicken.
