After a very long time i am posting a non-vegetarian recipe, and this is my H's favorite chicken recipe. I started cooking/eating non-veg recipes only after my marriage n i often make this chicken 65 for him. Initially i am not good in making this chicken 65 n later i learned myself to make a perfect crispy,spicy n juicy fried chicken from my faults.
Then finally found the secret of making perfect chicken 65 n it depends on two factors, one is soaking time n the other is frying method. For this recipe, chicken should be marinated for more hours, at least 4-5 hours. And also you should fry the chicken in hot oil n cook in medium heat until it turns crisp n cooked. Now i am happy that i could make some good chicken recipes which tastes similar or sometimes even better that the restaurant recipes :) Ok now off to the recipe...
Ingredients
- skinless n boneless chicken 1/2 kg or 1 lb (i used chicken breast)
- Ginger Garlic Paste 1 tbsp
- Chili powder 1-2 tsp
- Garam Masala Powder 1 tsp
- Lime or lemon juice from 1/2 lemon or lime
- Corn Flour 4 tbsp
- All Purpose Flour /Maida 1 tbsp
- Soy sauce 1 tsp (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Red food color a pinch (optional)
- Oil to deep fry
To Serve / Garnishing
- Onion 1/2 of a medium onion thinly sliced
- Lemon Wedges 8-10 pieces
- Freshly ground Pepper Powder to taste
- Cilantro 1-2 sprigs chopped
Method
- First wash/clean chicken n cut in to small pieces.
- Then take chicken pieces in a bowl, add ginger garlic paste, chili powder, garam masala powder, lemon juice,salt, food color, corn flour, soy sauce n all purpose flour n mix everything well.
- After that, wrap the bowl using cling wrap and refrigerate or allow to rest in room temperature for 4-5 hours.
- And then, heat oil in a pan, when it gets really hot, drop 3-4 chicken pieces or add chicken pieces and cook in medium heat until it turns crisp n cooked well.
- Once done, remove from the oil n transfer to a paper towel and serve chicken 65 hot with some lemon wedges n onion slices.
Notes:
- Adding soy sauce is completely optional, i have tried without adding it too.
- I sometimes used to add 1-2 tsp of thick yogurt which also gives soft n delicious fried chicken
- Do not fry the chicken in oil for long time or till turns too crispy n black n also not fry in less hot oil.
- Before adding the chicken, oil should be hot n after adding chicken pieces turn the heat to medium.
- After frying a first batch, allow 3-4 minutes to get oil enough hot n add the second batch.
- U can also some freshly ground pepper, curry leaves along with the other marinating items.
