Yesterday I made crispy chicken legs which were delicious.
Marination should be done either for 3-4 hours or overnight .
I made it in evening around 7: 30 pm and marinated at 5 .
So , here’s the recipe for 2 leg pieces (if you want to make for more number of pieces , just adjust the spices accordingly. )
- Defrost the chicken in microwave .
- Wash the chicken properly with water and salt
- Make gashes ( small slits ) in the chicken so that the marinate could be evenly spread
- Now take the below ingredients in a big Bowl for marination .
Chicken Leg pieces – 2
Curd – 2 tbsp
Ginger Garlic paste – 1/2 tbsp
Lemon Juice – 1/2
Salt to taste
Garam Masala Powder – 1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Black Pepper Powder – a pinch
5 . Coat the chicken properly with the marination.
6. Cover and keep aside for 3-4 hours or overnight.
7. Now , in a large plate , spread 3 spoons of all purpose flour ( maida) and 1 and 1/2 spoon of cornflour .
8. Add these spices in the plate –
Black pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala – 1 tsp
Red chili powder – 1/2 tap
Salt to taste
Oregano – 1/2tsp
9. Mix all these dry ingredients with a spoon properly .
10. Take a deep bowl and add 5-6 ice cubes and about half Cup water . Let the ice completely melt and the water should be become freezing cold.
11. After the marination time is completed , add one piece of chicken in the plate and coat nicely with the dry mixture for 1-2 mins.
12. Take this nicely coated chicken leg piece and dip it in the icy cold water .
13. Now again coat this wet piece with the dry mixture . Repeat the 12 step and this step for 2-3 times for very CRISPY CHICKEN.
14 . Do these coating and dipping with the other chicken piece as well .
15. Now , heat oil in a deep kadai (frying pan).
16. Carefully , immerse one chicken piece in the pan and let it cook for 3-4 mins and then flip and cook for another 3-4 mins .
17. Similarly., Fry the other leg piece .
And , our delicious tender and crispy chicken is ready to be served . Try it with mayonnaise.
