How to prepare.
Chicken fry recipe
Ingredients:
- ➤1 pound (about 500g) boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ➤1/2 cup yogurt (plain, unflavored)
- ➤2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste (or 1-inch ginger and 4-5 garlic cloves, minced)
- ➤1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ➤1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
- ➤1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- ➤1 teaspoon garam masala (Indian spice blend)
- ➤1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ➤1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ➤1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- ➤1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ➤1/4 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- ➤1/4 cup cornstarch (cornflour)
- ➤Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss them to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours (overnight marination is even better) to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
3. In a separate shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch together.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be deep enough to cover the chicken pieces when frying.
5. Take each marinated chicken piece and coat it with the flour-cornstarch mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
6. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can cause the temperature of the oil to drop.
7. Fry the chicken pieces for about 5-6 minutes per batch, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can cut a piece open to ensure it's fully cooked.
8. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess oil.
9. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batches of chicken until all the pieces are cooked.
10. Serve the hot and crispy chicken fry as a snack or appetizer, or you can pair it with rice, naan, or any side dish of your choice.
Enjoy your delicious and flavorful chicken fry! It's a fantastic dish to serve at parties or as a tasty treat for your family and friends.
