Tips

  • For a spicy kick, add a little bit of ground red chilli to the batter.
  • Marinating the chicken for 20 minutes ensures it absorbs the flavors well.
  • Using ice-cold soda water in the batter helps achieve a crispy texture.
  • Double frying the chicken at a high heat ensures ultimate crispiness and a beautiful golden-brown color.
  • Place the fried chicken on a wire rack to drain excess oil and maintain crispiness.
  • This recipe is gluten-free.
