Chicken 65 Recipe

boneless chicken

ginger garlic paste

salt

Kashmiri red chili powder ((reduce for low heat))

turmeric

garam masala

curry leaves ((finely chopped))

curd ((4 tbsps plain yogurt, refer notes))

lemon juice

cornstarch ((white corn flour))

rice flour ((or all-purpose flour))

egg white ((or 2 ½ tablespoons curd, refer notes))

Oil ((for deep frying))

Curry leaves ((rinse & pat dry completely))

green chilies

garlic ((2 large cloves))

Kashmiri red chili powder ((mixed with 2 tbsps. water))

garlic paste ((or crushed, read my notes))

sugar

salt ((adjust

black pepper ((optional,

Cut the chicken to approximately 1 by 1 inch pieces. Try to keep the sizes as uniform as possible, this helps in getting all the pieces fried evenly.

To a large mixing bowl, add chicken, salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, yogurt and finely chopped curry leaves.

Mix well and cover. Marinate for a minimum of 1 hour. You can refrigerate for upto to 36 hours.

Prepare all the ingredients for tempering before frying the chicken. Pat dry the curry leaves and deseeded green chilies. Keep them aside. To a small bowl add the red chili powder, sugar, crushed garlic or paste & 2 tbsps water. Mix together to get a thick paste. Keep this aside.

Preparation

On a medium flame, heat oi in a heavy bottom deep pan for frying. While the oil heats up, add cornstarch, rice flour and egg white to the marinated chicken.

Mix well to coat the chicken well with flour and eggs or yogurt. The coating should be moist and not runny or too dry. If it is too dry, you may splash some water and mix well.

Test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a pinch of batter in the hot oil. It must come up immediately without becoming brown. If it sinks and remains there, it means the oil is not hot enough yet.

When the oil is hot enough, gently drop the chicken pieces into the oil. Do not crowd the pan.

Do not disturb the chicken pieces for 2 minutes. Stir and let them cook on a medium heat until crisp and golden. Reduce the heat slightly and let them fry the last 1 minute until deep golden & really crisp.

Remove them to a steel colander and continue to fry them in batches.

Once you are done with the chicken, reduce the flame to lowest and place 2 sprigs of curry leaves on a skimmer or strainer ladle and gently lower to the hot oil. Fry the curry leaves until crisp. Remove to the colander.

Place your slit and deseeded green chilies on the strainer ladle and lower it to the hot oil. Fry them until blistered. Turn off the heat. Toss all of these and serve this Chennai style Chicken 65 immediately or go ahead with the tempering below.

Fry chicken

To Bake in the oven, preheat the oven to 200 C or 390 F for at least 15 mins. Place the chicken pieces on a tray lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 35 to 40 mins, flipping after 20 mins. When the chicken is almost done, Place the curry leaves and slit green chilies. Broil for 2 mins. Adjust the baking time as every oven is different.

To Bake in Oven

Place the chicken on an air fryer parchment paper (perforated parchment paper). Air fry at 375 F or 180 C for 8 minutes, flip them and air fry for another 3 to 4 mins depending on how dry or crispy you want it. Place the sprig of curry leaves and slit green chilies and air fry for 2 more mins. Adjust the timings a bit as every air fryer is different.

To Air fry

Pour 2 tablespoons oil to wok. You can use fresh oil or use the same fried chicken oil. When the oil turns hot, add chopped garlic, 5 to 6 curry leaves and 2 slit green chilies. Stir fry until the curry leaves turn crisp, do not brown the garlic.

Slide the curry leaves and the chilies to a side in the wok. Pour the chilli garlic paste, 2 tablespoons water and salt. Mix well and let it cook on a medium heat until all of the water evaporates.

Taste test the fried chicken and the sauce too. Adjust your sauce to your liking, by adding more salt or red chilli to your taste.

Once it is done, you should have a thick oily chilli sauce in the wok. Add the fried chicken (set aside the previously deep fried curry leaves and green chilies for garnish).

Turn off and Toss well to coat the chicken with the tempering. Garnish chicken 65 with crunchy curry leaves and green chilies. Squeeze some lemon juice and serve with fresh cut raw onions.

Chicken 65 Recipe - Restaurant Style Chicken 65 in Tamil - சிக்கன் 65

This restaurant-style Chicken 65 is a spicy, deep-fried starter snack, appetizer, or a full meal served with naan! It&#039;s marinated in yogurt, spices, and curry leaves for 24 hours so it&#039;s deeply flavorful and aromatic.

chicken thighs

dahi

tbsp Kashmiri chili powder

cumin powder

tsp salt

curry leaves (chopped)

corn starch

tbsp rice flour

neutral oil (for frying)

olive oil

green chilis

Remove the curry leaves from the sprig and stack the leaves on top of each other. Cut them as evenly as possible.

Add the dahi, ginger garlic paste, chopped curry leaves, kashmiri chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala, black pepper, and salt to a bowl. Whisk it together.

Remove the fat from the chicken thighs. Cut the thighs into 1-inch cubes. Transfer the cubed chicken to the bowl and toss with the marinade to fully coat it. Cover the chicken and marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, but ideally for 24 hours for the best flavor.

After marinating, add the rice flour and corn starch into the chicken and toss it to coat. The chicken should be fairly dry.

Heat neutral oil in a heavy bottom pot or wok to deep fry the chicken. Once it reaches 350°F, carefully drop the chicken one-by-one into the oil, leaving plenty of space between the cubes. After about a minute, toss the chicken with a slotted spoon. Keep frying until it&#39;s a deep reddish-brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.

Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and allow it to drain on a paper towel.

Slice the green chilis at an angle and remove the curry leaves from the second sprig. In a wok or skillet on low to medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil.

Once hot, add the green chilis, kashmiri chili powder, ginger garlic paste, and curry leaves. Mix it to temper the chili powder and fry until the curry leaves are crispy. Add more oil as necessary.

Add the fried chicken and toss it with the tadka to coat completely, until the chicken is warmed through.

Serve the Chicken 65 immediately with sliced red onions and lemon wedges.
