Crispy Spiced Chicken Fry

1Marinating the Chicken In a bowl, combine the boneless chicken (500 g) pieces with ginger paste (1 teaspoon), garlic paste (1 teaspoon), paprika (1 teaspoon), garam masala (1 teaspoon), cumin powder (1 teaspoon), coriander powder (1 teaspoon), turmeric powder (1 teaspoon), black pepper (½ teaspoon), salt (½ teaspoon), and yogurt (2 tablespoons). Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.

2Preparing the Coating In a separate bowl, prepare the coating by mixing all-purpose flour (1 cup), cornflour (½ cup), paprika (1 teaspoon), cumin powder (½ teaspoon), coriander powder (½ teaspoon), turmeric powder (½ teaspoon), garlic powder (½ teaspoon), and salt (½ teaspoon). Ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

3Coating the Chicken Pieces Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dip each marinated chicken piece into the coating mixture, ensuring it is well coated on all sides.

4Frying the Chicken Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. Ensure the chicken is cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

5Serving Suggestions Serve the crispy spiced chicken fry hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
