1 tbsp Kashmiri Chilly Powder [for color]

Step 1 – Chicken Marination:

Take 1 kg of chicken in a bowl. Make slits on all the pieces. Add required salt and mix it well. Pour 4 tbsp of extracted lemon juice over it. Add 2 tbsp of garlic ginger paste and mix it well. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

Again add the following ingredients into the mixture. The list is 1 tbsp of chilly powder, 1 tbsp of coriander powder, 1/2 tsp of cumin powder, 1/2 tsp of pepper powder, 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, 1 tsp of garam masala, 1 tbsp of chaat masala, 3 tbsp of gram flour (besan), 2 tbsp of cornflour, and 2 tbsp of curd.

You can add 1 tbsp of Kashmiri chilly powder for color. Or you choose your choice of color. Mix it well. Marinate it overnight or at least 2 hours.

Step 2 – Making Fried Chicken:

Heat oil for deep frying. Keep the flame with medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces one by one, and do not mix it immediately for 2-3 minutes. Flip it over then and there. Fry it for 4-5 minutes. You can remove those frying chicken pieces from the oil. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Keep the flame with medium-high heat this time. Fry it again for 1 minute. Now the crispy Fried Chicken is ready! Fry the rest in batches. It’s ready to serve, and you can enjoy it with mint chutney.
