Ingredients for Chicken Fry

  • 500g (1 lb) chicken (boneless or with bone, cut into pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala or chicken masala
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons rice flour or corn flour (for crispiness)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for deep frying or shallow frying
  • Optional: Curry leaves, green chilies for garnish

How to Make Chicken Fry

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix chicken with ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, lemon juice (or yogurt), and salt. Add rice flour/corn flour for a crispy coating. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for best flavor).

Step 2: Heat the Oil

Heat oil in a pan or kadai on medium-high. Make sure it's hot enough (test with a small piece).

Step 3: Fry the Chicken

Add the chicken pieces in batches. Fry until golden brown and crisp, turning occasionally. This should take about 6–8 minutes per batch.

Step 4: Drain and Serve

Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Optionally, toss with fried curry leaves and sliced green chilies for an authentic South Indian touch.

Tips for Crispy Chicken Fry

  • Use rice flour or cornflour for a crunchy coating.
  • Marinate longer for deeper flavor and juicier chicken.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—it drops oil temperature and makes chicken soggy.
  • Add a pinch of baking soda to the marinade for extra crispiness (optional).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as fried chicken?
It’s similar but spiced differently—this is more like Indian-style chicken fry, packed with aromatic flavors.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes—just use gluten-free cornflour or chickpea flour (besan) instead of wheat flour.
