Ingredients: Chicken 65

For this amazing Chicken 65 recipe, you’ll need:

• 1 kg boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin powder
• 1 tablespoon garam masala
• 1 tablespoon coriander powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Kashmiri red chili powder
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons corn flour
• Oil for deep frying

For the finishing sauce:

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1-3 curry leaves (optional)
• 1 cup hot chili sauce
• Chopped onions
• Chopped bell peppers (Shimla Mirch)
• A bit of oil for steaming
• A pinch of charcoal (for the smoky flavor!)

Preparation: Chicken 65

Marinate the Chicken

Start by taking the boneless chicken pieces and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala, coriander powder, garlic powder, and Kashmiri red chili powder.

Mix everything together well, making sure each piece of chicken is coated in those rich, aromatic spices.

Now, add the egg to the mix and stir again. The egg helps the spices stick and adds to the crispy texture when fried. After that, add the corn flour and give everything one last good mix. You want your chicken pieces to be well-coated and ready for frying.

Fry the Chicken

Heat oil in a deep frying pan on low to medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the marinated chicken pieces into the oil and fry them until golden brown and crispy.

The low flame helps cook the chicken through while keeping it crispy on the outside. This process should take about 7-10 minutes depending on the size of your chicken pieces.

Prepare the Finishing Sauce

While your chicken is frying, let’s make the flavorful finishing sauce! In a separate bowl, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the cumin seeds, chili flakes, and curry leaves, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the spices release their beautiful aroma.

Next, add the hot chili sauce to the mix and stir well to combine all those amazing flavors.

Combine the Chicken and Sauce

Once your chicken is golden and crispy, add it to the bowl with the sauce. Toss in some chopped onions and bell peppers (Shimla Mirch) for that extra crunch and flavor. Mix everything well so the chicken is fully coated in that spicy, tangy sauce.

Smoky Touch (Optional)

Here’s where we take it up a notch! You can add a smoky flavor to your Chicken 65 by using a bit of charcoal. Simply heat a piece of charcoal on a flame until it’s red-hot. Place it in a small bowl, and pour a little oil over it.

Then, quickly cover your dish to trap the smoke inside. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse that smoky aroma into the chicken.

Serve and Enjoy!

Once your Chicken 65 is ready, serve it hot and enjoy the crispy, spicy goodness. Whether it’s for a special occasion or a cozy dinner at home, this dish is sure to steal the show. The smoky aroma and flavorful masala will leave everyone asking for more!

Tips for Perfect Chicken 65

• For extra crunch: Double fry the chicken for that ultimate crispy texture.
• Adjust the spice: If you prefer it milder, reduce the amount of Kashmiri red chili powder.
• Air fryer option: For a healthier version, you can air fry the chicken at 180°C for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
