  • Marinate the chicken with the above spices for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl and set aside.
  • Mix the self raising flour, 1 tsp red chili flakes and salt in a large zip lock bag and mix well.
  • Dip one chicken piece at a time in the beaten egg. Transfer this chicken piece to the zip lock bag and seal it. Shake well till the chicken is well coated with the flour. (You can repeat the process for extra crispiness). Set the coated chicken pieces on a plate.
  • Fry it in hot oil till done. I time the frying part for the perfect cooking. I generally cook on high heat for 5 minutes and then medium heat for approximately 10 minutes. It gets cooked perfectly for me.
