Crispy and Juicy Chicken Leg Piece Fry: A Flavorful Feast

Chicken leg piece fry is a global favorite, offering crispy exteriors and juicy interiors. This recipe guides you towards creating golden brown, crunchy chicken bursting with flavor.

Ingredients:

• 500g chicken leg pieces
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornflour
• Salt to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Wash and pat dry the chicken leg pieces. Make small slits for marinade absorption.
2. In a bowl, combine ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander, garam masala, black pepper, yogurt, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
3. Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight, for deeper flavor.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, flour, cornflour, and salt.
5. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F).
6. Dip each marinated chicken piece in the batter, letting excess drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil.
7. Fry for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Drain the fried chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
9. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like ketchup, mayonnaise, or chili sauce.

Tips:

• Double-dip for extra crispiness.
• Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; juices should run clear.
• Adjust chili powder to your spice preference.
• Bake instead of frying for a healthier option (200°C for 20-25 minutes).

Additional notes:

• Buttermilk can replace yogurt for a tangier flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of baking powder to the batter for extra crunch.
• Marinate with your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor.
