Description

Chicken 65 is a spicy, deep-fried Indian chicken dish which is served as an appetizer or entrée. The flavor mainly comes from red chilis and curry leaves. It can be eaten as a snack, shared amongst friends. It can also be enjoyed as a whole meal with roti or naan.

The way it’s prepared varies greatly by region. In these variants, the Chicken 65 gravy is made by using yogurt after frying the chicken with chilis, instead of in the marinade. Many variants also have flares of Indo-Chinese flavors, with added soy sauce, egg, and ketchup. This chicken starter reminds me so much of Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken!
