Chicken 65 is a very, very simple (zip, zap, zoom...) spicy fried chicken, usually served as an appetizer. Anyone can make it without going wrong--one should only try it once to see how simple it is. Serve hot with sliced onion rounds, lime or lemon wedges, and garnish it with cilantro or parsley. Can also serve any dipping sauce of your choice.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Pat chicken pieces dry, leaving a bit of moisture as this will help in binding the ingredients. Combine ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, flour, 1 teaspoon oil, and salt in a bowl; mix nicely. Coat each piece of chicken with the mixture.
Heat 1 cup oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
Fry chicken pieces in batches in the hot oil until golden brown and no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 7 minutes per batch, making sure not to overcrowd. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

Cook's Notes:

You can use 1 teaspoon each garlic and ginger powder instead of paste, cayenne instead of chili powder, and corn flour instead of all-purpose, or a mix of both.

If left to marinate for 15 to 30 minutes, it tastes even better--in my home no one has patience to wait until it marinates!

Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
