CHICKEN 65 RECIPE

Chicken 65 is one of the most popular snacks and a starter recipe all across India... It is made using boneless chicken pieces marinated with some spices and deep fried. I remember having this at Buhari hotel in Chennai couple years back and the flavours stuck with me forever. Try my recipe as I try to recreate my food memories of the place and the dish.

There is a Buhari hotel in Chennai. And in 1965 Buhari hotel made fried chicken, which is now famous in world wide. And that chicken is called "Chicken 65". The most interesting thing is that, it has a lot of stories. Some people say, that spices were brought from 65 different villages, that's why it is “chicken 65”. Or some people even say that, it has 65 different spices, that's why it is “chicken 65”. See the moral of the story is, whatever story is correct, the dish is great.  And there are so many versions of "Chicken 65", that I have seen.

So, I just thought the "Chicken 65" which I feel is right, I should make once for sure! So I went to Buhari, which alleged inventor of "Chicken 65". Learned a bit myself and a bit from them, and saw what exactly they do. I'll try and recreate the recipe.
