3. When the oil or butter starts to give fumes, it is heated and you should add chicken pieces in it. After adding chicken, high the flame and cover the pan with lid. Let the first sides of pieces cook for seven minutes. Slow down the flame after few seconds. If you add the entire pieces at once, cooking will take more time so it is good to divide the pieces into two or three groups.
   
   
4. After seven minutes, remove the lid from the skillet, turn the side of chicken and let the other side take its seven minutes with covered pot. Again change the side and cook for seven minutes more. Make it sure that both the sides are of golden brown color.
