Chicken 65
Chicken 65 traditionally is a spicy, deep-fried chicken recipe. The flavor of the chicken comes from the delicious ginger-garlic paste which is used as a marinade on the chicken pieces. Enjoy the crispy fried chicken 65 with onion rings and green chutney..As you know I don’t like to use too much oil in my cooking, I have altered the classic to suit my style, so I can enjoy my favorite recipe guilt free.  I’m not exactly sure of the origins of the name, but this is indeed a true mouth watering dry chicken dish. It’s not a tough job to get restaurant quality, this is a very easy method to cook at home with a restaurant style taste. –However if like deep frying better go ahead and do that.
Also my friends who do not have all the spices in their pantry, I have recommended to use a store bought masala for this recipe, its easily available in most of the Indian stores here.
