I have just changed the pics and modified this old recipe from my blog. Trying to rework on old posts by changing pics to make it better. Hope you guys will like this version of fried chicken. This recipe would also taste great as a side starter, quick meals, brunch, stuffing in burgers etc.

This is a simple recipe even Bachelors can try them. Its easy to make and delicious at the same time. You have to shallow fry this Chicken hence less oil consumption. Do dab some tissue paper once you fry the chicken to remove excess oil. You could marinate and keep overnight Or just marinate for 15 to 20 mins. When you frying them just cover with a lid. Otherwise due to moisture in the chicken the oil might spill over your face.

If you are  a vegetarian you could use Paneer Or Tofu with the same ingredients. Marinate the Paneer or Tofu with the same Masalas. You could even try potatoes which I am sure would taste yum. My hubby drools over this dish. As chicken fried is crispy from out, soft from within, is succulent, delicious and too tempting.

Most of the times when I have guests I make this as its quick, easy preparation and make some curry along with it. I am sorted with this dish it’s been my great savior many a times.  So I never waste time when I have less time on hand. Have also fried fish the same way and it tastes great too.

  4. In the first picture of the chicken and marinade, there is clearly more than 1 tablespoon of liquid in the pot. What is that liquid and is it important ? Thank you.

    • John it’s just 1 tbsp vinegar and the rest moisture is from the chicken. Yes vinegar would add the tang flavor alternatively you could add lime juice. Hope this help’s you.

    • Hamida you could place the marinated chicken over-night into the freezer or fridge. Thaw until they come to room temperature. Surely try and let me know how they turned out. Also best of luck 🙂
