Chicken 65

Chicken 65 (Boneless, Marinated)

Chicken 65 is boneless chicken marinated in-store in the classic blend of red chilli, ginger, garlic, curry leaf and a touch of yoghurt to tenderise. Named for a Chennai original, its appeal is the crust: a thin, spiced coating that fries crisp while the meat stays juicy. Around 25g protein per 100g cooked.

Deep fry at 180C for 4 to 5 minutes, or shallow fry turning often until crisp and cooked through, then finish with a curry-leaf and green-chilli tempering. Serve as a starter with lime and sliced onion, or fold into a wrap. Marinated fresh, not pre-frozen, so the spice sits on the surface rather than soaking in and toughening the meat.
