👩🍳 THE COOKING PROCESS 👨🍳
🚀 Step 1: Marinate the Chicken 🚀
1. Pour 1.5 cups of milk and 2 tbsp of lemon juice into a large bowl. Give it a gentle mix and let it rest for 1 minute to create a quick buttermilk.
2. Add the spices to the bowl: salt, coriander powder, red chili powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, and dried oregano leaves.
3. Mix in 1 tsp of mustard paste and 1 egg, then whisk everything together until well combined.
4. Submerge 600g of boneless chicken pieces into the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for 1 hour.
🚀 Step 2: Prepare the Dry Coating 🚀
1. In a separate large dish, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of cornstarch.
2. Season the flour mixture by adding salt, garlic powder, red chili powder, black pepper powder, chicken powder, and baking powder.
3. Whisk or stir the dry ingredients well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
🚀 Step 3: Coat the Chicken 🚀
1. Take a piece of marinated chicken and drop it directly into the dry flour mixture, coating it completely.
2. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it back into the liquid marinade for a brief second.
3. Place the chicken back into the dry flour mixture for a second coating. Toss it around and gently press the flour onto the chicken to create those signature crispy, flaky ridges.
🚀 Step 4: Fry to Golden Perfection 🚀
1. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat.
2. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil.
3. Deep-fry until the chicken turns a beautiful golden brown and crispy on all sides.
4. Remove the chicken from the oil using a slotted spoon or strainer, let the excess oil drain, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
✨ Enjoy your extra-crunchy fried chicken! ✨
