I’ve always wondered how chicken 65 in restaurants alone turn very soft and juicy. I didn’t give a serious thought until the little one started tasting and liking chicken. Now that she likes chicken 65, I browsed around and finalised this recipe which turned out to be a hit. Also one of my friend and regular reader had asked for this recipe long back and this is for you Manjula 🙂 For all the vegetarians check out gobi 65 recipe 🙂

Chicken 65 Recipe Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 2 hrs | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Starter | Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Reference: Sashi Recipes
Recipe Category: Starter | Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Reference: Sashi Recipes
For the marinade:
Cleaned Boneless Chicken – 1/2 kg (15-20 small bite size pieces)
Ginger Garlic Paste – 1 tsp
Coriander Powder – 2 tsp
Red Chili Powder – 3 tsp
Cumin Powder – 1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder- a generous pinch
Corn Flour – 2 tsp
Rice Flour – 3/4 tsp
Red Food Color – 1/4 tsp
Lemon Juice – 1 tbsp
Egg – 1
Salt – to taste
Other ingredients:
Oil – for deep frying
Curry Leaves – few
Green Chilies – 2 halved
Raw onion slices – few just to season
Lemon – 1/2 wedge just to season
Method:
- Mix all the ingredients listed under ‘For the marinade’ and mix well.
- Allow it to rest for 2 hours atleast – the more resting time the softer the chicken 65 will be. Then heat oil in a kadai deep fry curry leaves and green chillies till crisp and set aside. Then add the chicken pieces in batches and fry well.
- Deep fry them until crispy and till it turns golden brown. Garnish with fried curry leaves and green chillies.
Serve with raw onion slices and lemon wedges as a starter.
My Notes:
- The time for marinade is very important to get juicy soft chicken 65 else it would turn hard and rubbery. So make sure to marinade atleast for 2 hours atleast.
- You can also include small chopped pieces of ginger and garlic with the tempering ingredients.
- You can also skip the yellow yolk of the egg and just add only the white part.
- Choose tender chicken thigh part and cut them into small bite sized pieces.
Awesome!!!
is there any other alternative of deep frying the chicken?Can we grill it in microwave?Please tell,i am a newbie in kitchen and i very much want to make this recipe.
steps shown so well. I am told that the chicken 65 name came about because they needed broilers – young and tender 65 days old?? – for the dish. I do not know if that is true. But we have so many dishes that have taken off from this – even Alu 65!!
@CallmeMamun: Not sure..I havent tried it guess it will work if we keep in grill mode around 200deg C but not sure on the timing, try it for 15mins, check then grill it accordingly.
@radha : I have read so many stories why its called chicken 65 but really not sure which is true 🙂
perfect appetizers. will be a pleaser in a party

Hi Mam, your recipe seems superb, wanted to try this weekend, just wanted to know the perfect frying time for chicken 65 in Gas stove…as sometime it becomes like chewing gum if it gets over cooked.
Mam, Could you please tell us the perfect frying time for chicken 65 (soft & crispy without chewing gum type)
Just fry till golden….if its marinated well then it will not be chewy, the more time its gets marinated chicken will be juicy and soft
I did this chicken 65. Wonderful. It was so soft n juicy. Thank you.
Thank you chicken was very tasty and soft
Chicken tastes wonderful and it was soft too
Thanks for providing the details, its really a good information
