    Hubby loves chicken fry, i usually make them on weekends when i try out biryani's. They taste great when served with plain rasam rice too. Nowadays i kind of stay away from fried chicken, ever since i learned this trick of making a chicken roast which more or less taste like chicken fry. But somedays i couldn't skip that delicious juicy crunchy fried chicken.

    I always get mails from my viewers that their fried chicken is hard and not juicy. I think when you fry chicken it should just fall off and stay juicy and moist when you bite into them. There are few steps which you should take care when you fry a chicken. First step is marination, you should marinate the chicken for atleast 2 to 3 hours, this way the chicken gets maximum flavour all the way. Then You should start frying chicken on a high heat, then reduce the heat to a low and fry it for a long time, this way the chicken gets cooked from inside too, when the chicken has finished cooking increase the heat to high and crisp it up.

    How to Make Special Chicken Fry

    1. Take chicken and make slashes in them. Sprinkle some salt over them and mix well.
    2. Put them in a microwave safe bowl or a steamer plate and steam it on the lowest heat settings for 5 mins.
    3. Remove it and allow it to cool completely.
    4. You can steam them in steamer plate on stove top for 5 mins.
    5. Take all the grinding ingredients in a blender and make into a fine paste.
    6. Transfer that to a bowl. Add in egg white and mix well.
    7. Add in the steamed chicken pieces and mix well.
    8. Cover it and let it marinate for a good couple of hours in fridge.
    9. Remove it fridge 30 mins before frying.
    10. Just before you fry sprinkle some breadcrumbs and toss well.
    11. Heat oil for deep frying. Fry the chicken pieces till it is golden brown. It will take around 15 to 20 mins
    12. Drain and serve.

    If you are scared that the chicken wont get cooked properly. Then follow this method. It is a steaming and frying chicken recipe. First you steam the chicken for few minutes. This will cook the chicken half way. Then you marinate it and fry it. This way the chicken gets lots of flavor and gets properly cooked and crispy still taste juicy. So try this and let it know how it turned out.

      @Sharmila BellieNo lemon juice will give it the tartness which is required.

      Isn't it lots of masala for just 4 legs? I alone can eat 8 such legs... I think that much Masala maybe good for 16 leg pieces? No?
