📝 Ingredients
For Marination:
- 1 kg chicken (cut into pieces)
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
- 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp soy sauce
For Coating:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
For Frying:
- Oil (for deep frying)
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, mix buttermilk, ginger garlic paste, spices, and soy sauce. Add chicken pieces and coat well.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight for best results).
👉 Tip: Longer marination = more juicy and flavorful chicken.
2. Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, combine flour, cornflour, baking powder, and all dry spices. Mix thoroughly.
3. Coat the Chicken
- Take each marinated chicken piece and dip it into the flour mixture.
- Press gently to create a rough, textured coating (this gives that crispy broast look).
- For extra crunch, dip back into marinade and coat again.
4. Fry to Perfection
- Heat oil on medium flame.
- Fry chicken pieces for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan.
👉 Pro Tip: Keep flame medium—too high burns coating, too low makes it soggy.
