Courtesy : Manju
This Fried Chicken is as good as any KFCs. Tried, tested and is finger lickin' goood!!!!!!

You'll need :

  • Chicken : 1/2kg
  • Red chilli pwd : 2tbsp
  • Turmeric pwd : 1tsp
  • Ginger-garlic paste : 1tsp
  • Chicken/Meat Masala : 1tsp
  • Soya Sauce: 1tbsp
  • Lemon juice : 1tbsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Egg : 2
  • Bread Crumbs : 2cups (5-6 bread slices powdered in a processor)
  • Oil for deep frying

Method :

  • Clean and cut the chicken such that, you retain the two leg pieces but chuck-out the bones from the remaining chicken. Mark slant-cuts on the leg pieces.
  • Now marinate the Chicken pieces with all the Spices and salt from the above list and refrigerate for  2-3hrs. (I usually marinate and refrigerate overnite. Makes my job the next day a lot easier.)
  • Now place the marinated chicken in a wide pan and cover cook on medium heat for 10-15mins or till the chicken becomes tender from inside.(Do not completely fry and cook at this stage. You just need to par cook them).
  • Meanwhile, in one bowl, beat the eggs with little salt and keep aside.
  • In another bowl, keep the bread crumbs ready.
  • Heat oil for deep frying.
  • Once the chicken is tender from inside, take them out one @ a time and directly dip them into the bowl of egg 1st, then roll them into bread crumbs till completely covered and quickly deep fry till light-golden colour.
  • Your Fried Chicken is ready..!!!
