Street Food Style Chicken Fry Recipe - Thattukadai Chicken Fry Recipe

Spread the Joy!

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!

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
