This Chicken 65 is a crispy, spicy, and flavorful South Indian dish that’s perfect as an appetizer or snack. The chicken is first marinated in a rich blend of ginger-garlic paste, yogurt, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply. For the best taste, it’s recommended to marinate overnight, ensuring the chicken stays juicy while absorbing all the bold spices.

Once marinated, the chicken is fried until golden brown and crispy, creating an irresistible crunch with every bite. The result is a fiery, tangy dish that pairs perfectly with a squeeze of lemon and fresh herbs. Whether served as a snack or alongside rice and chutneys, Chicken 65 is a must-try for spice lovers and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
