Chicken Fry Recipe!

I was literally bored of eating chicken curry but my husband is one big chicken freak and will eat it for breakfast too if possible. Anyway one day I decided to deep fry the chicken with readily available ingredients at home in an effort to try out a new recipe and viola it came out really well. I am sharing the recipe and method with you and do remember once in a while self indulgence is good. So go ahead and get your fried chicken!

Ingredients:

Chicken 250 gm

Ginger garlic paste 1-2 tsp

Red chilly powder 1-2 tsp

Turmeric powder, a pinch

Coriander powder 2 tsp

Garam masala powder ½ tsp

Salt to taste

Freshly ground pepper ½ tsp

Lemon juice 1 tsp

Corn flour 2-3 tsp

Curry leaves 2 sprigs

Slit green chilies 3-4

Oil 1½ -2 cups

Method:  Clean and wash the chicken. Drain the chicken on a kitchen towel or in a colander. Pierce the chicken with a fork so that the spices are absorbed while marinating. Next add all the ingredients from ginger garlic paste through corn flour to the chicken pieces and toss thoroughly. Keep aside for about two hours, preferably refrigerate if possible. Heat the oil for deep frying and fry the chicken pieces till they are cooked through and evenly browned. Place the fried chicken pieces on absorbent tissue papers to absorb the excessive oil. Use the same oil to fry the green chilies and curry leaves, and add to the fried chicken pieces. Serve hot.

Note: Chicken drumsticks can be used in place of chicken pieces. Seasoning can be adjusted to suit one’s palate.
