Pickles are genuinely a part of Indian dishes. They are a side dish in the afternoon meals, usually found in almost every Indian household. In the southern part of India, pickles are often made in the summer season. Chicken pickle is one of the most tried and cooked pickles among the non-veg options. It is so spicy and often recommended not to consume in massive quantities because it can create burning sensations. However, eating in moderation will not do any harm.
