Given the name, I'm assuming Dhaka Chicken is a popular dish in Bangladesh. It's that time of the year - Ramadan/ Ramzan - when I'm constantly looking for appetizer recipes for Iftar especially with boneless chicken since it cooks quickly. I tried Dhaka Chicken for the first time and the taste has made the recipe worth sharing. :)

Try these boneless chicken appetizers: Chicken Satay, Malai Chicken Tikka, Chicken Croquettes, Chicken Shawarma
