Chicken is always a comfort food that everyone agrees on!
This is our typical Saturday evening snack and on all the lazy evening. A hot cuppa ginger tea and this chicken has always been an ideal pair and serving as our movie night food till date.
Ingredients
For marination
300gms chicken breast, cut into 1-inch thick strips
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 beaten egg
1 teaspoon chilli powder or hot sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper powder
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
1 teaspoon salt
For coating
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon cornflour
½ teaspoon pepper powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chilli powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
Preparation
1. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for marination and refrigerate the mixture for at least 20 minutes.
2. Mix all the ingredients for coating in another bowl and dip the chicken strips into the flour mixture one by one.
3. Heat the oil and fry the chicken in batches until they are golden brown and serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for crispy tenders
For thicker outer layer, dip them in the flour mixture, beaten egg/leftover marinade and then flour again.
If you want to have less spice, avoid ginger-garlic paste, pepper powder and chilli powder in the marination.
Try to maintain the oil close to 175° C for optimal frying.
