Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for 4-5 hours atleast.
  • Double coating the chicken with flour gives a crispy outer.
  • Do not over crowd the kadai with chicken pieces while frying them.
  • Add spices according to your taste.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry the chicken.
  • The oil should not be too hot nor too cold. Too hot oil will result in the chicken being under-cooked and too cold oil will result in a soggy outer covering.
  • Coated chicken pieces can also be frozen. If you are frying frozen chicken, then thaw them in the refrigerator the night before and bring them to room temperature before frying.
  • Use bone-in and skin-on chicken for best results.
