    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.

    Ingredients

    For the marinade

    • 1/2 kg chicken boneless
    • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
    • 2 tsp coriander powder
    • 2 tsp red chilli powder
    • 1/4 tsp cumin powder
    • a generous pinch turmeric powder
    • 2 tsp corn flour
    • 3/4 tsp rice flour
    • 1/4 tsp red food color
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • 1 no egg
    • salt to taste

    Other ingredients

    • oil for deep frying
    • few curry leaves
    • 2 nos green chillies halved
    • raw onion slices to garnish
    • lemon wedge just for garnish

    Instructions

    • 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 Chicken 65 with raw onion slices and lemon wedges as a starter.

    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 at least for 2 hours at least.
    • 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.

      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 🙂
