Street Food Style Chicken Fry Recipe
Chicken fry or fried chicken has been my all time favorite. Specially the street side south indian ones, Those crispy masala coated chicken which has a spicy exterior and a juicy interior, thinking of it makes my mouth water. I know it is not hygiene to buy them from those street side shops, the thing which concern me a lot is the oil which they use for frying them. I know they keep on frying in the same oil again and again. So i stopped buying them and started to make fried chicken at home.
I would never say that fried chicken is healthy, but atleast when you make them
at home, specially with good quality sunflower oil available in the market, these would be a little on the safer side. After all these kind of dishes are guilty pleasures right!

Ingredients for Street Food Style Chicken Fry
Chicken :
The characteristic saltiness of fried chicken encourages the production of more saliva, allowing us to further break down that crispy skin and ease our digestive processing. But it's the chicken skin that elevates the entire fried chicken experience, creating a layer of salt and fat that we're wired to crave.
Garam Masala Powder :
Before being ground, the whole spices in the Garam Masala blend are already toasted. As a result, it does not need to be cooked. If we add the garam masala too soon, it will become overcooked and lose its flavour. Garam masala aromatics require very little heat to release their aroma and flavours.
