Notes
- Make sure you use chicken with skins on for maximum crispness when frying.
- Marinating the chicken for at least 1 hour to overnight is important. The longer you marinate the chicken will be moist.
- Fry the chicken in peanut oil which naturally has high smoking point.
- Make sure the marinate masala is thick so it coats the chicken really well.
