    Ingredients for Chicken Fry

    Chicken - I used boneless chicken thigh for making chicken fry. Chicken thighs will result in more juicy chicken. But chicken breast can be used as well.

    Fresh Produce - ginger, garlic, curry leaves are freshly ground and added to chicken fry for flavor.

    Spices- chilli, coriander, turmeric and garam masala powder adds so much taste and flavor to the chicken.

    Lemon - I prefer to add extra lemon juice or vinegar to the chicken to get rid of the chicken smell. it also adds a fresh taste to the chicken.

    Oil - any neutral oil is used. But personally for frying chicken or fish, I like to use coconut oil. It adds so much flavor.

      Hi Aarthi,
      This looks delicious. Can rice flour be replaced with corn flour ?
