  • Marinate chicken in black pepper makes it so tasty as black pepper flavor penetrates in chicken.
  • In black pepper chicken, avoid using any other pepper otherwise the taste will compromise. You can only add green pepper!
  • Black pepper flavor with ginger makes it so special in taste so used Julianne ginger while serving. 
  • Always cook chicken on high heat to make it more tasty and juicy. 
  • The addition of cream in gravy makes it more tasty and delicious but if you are on diet or want to avoid then you can skip as per your interest and taste.
