If you are unfamiliar with the idea of charring food, you are in for a real treat with the recipe. When cooking the chicken, be sure to get your griddle pan extremely hot before adding the chicken.
After adding the chicken, do not turn or move the chicken until a dark brown crust has formed, only then should you turn the chicken and achieve the same on the other side.
