Ingredients

1 chicken, cut into 8-10 pieces (with or without skin, up to you)
Wash and drain the chicken well. Using a fork, prick the chicken pieces all over.
Then marinate them in:
INGREDIENTS
1 beaten egg
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. corn flour
1 tsp. ginger paste
1 tbsp. garlic paste
1 tbsp. soya sauce
1 tsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. red chili powder
1 tsp. cinnamon powder
1 tbsp. paprika
salt to taste
½ tsp. Chinese salt
½ tsp. black pepper powder

Preparation

Step 1

Cover with cling film and put the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 2

Next, mix half a cup of flour with half tsp. salt and half tsp. chili powder. Put this in a plastic bag.

Step 3

Now, 2 pieces at a time, put the chicken in the flour bag and shake to make sure each piece is well coated with the flour. This helps give the chicken a perfect rough and crispy surface.

Step 4

Heat oil on high, add the chicken pieces without crowding the pan. You can do them in 2-3 batches. Lower the heat and deep-fry each batch for about 15 minutes, making sure to turn the chicken pieces once or twice in the oil in order to get them golden on all sides.

Step 5

Drain on kitchen towels and serve with fries and some garlic sauce!
