Chicken Fry (Nanking Style)

We like the fried chicken of a restaurant out here in hyderabad, called Nanking, so we relish the taste of it and invented this process of cooking it, which is close to the fries which they make.

Ingredients

1 kg Chicken (importantly, with the skin) – cut into medium pieces, so you might get around 15 pieces.

Ginger and Garlic paste – 2 -3 tablespoon (depending upon how pure and strong the paste is, hehehe)

Chilli powder – 1 tablespoon (add more if you want it to be hot)

Pepper powder – 1 tablespoon

Cornflour – 5 tablespoon

Maida – 3 tablespoon

Eggs – 2-3 depending on how much size the hen has laid her egg

Green chilli 3-4 – nicely chopped

Lime – 1 pcs

Oil

Salt - to taste

(optional) Ajinamoto which is also called Monosodium Glutamate – 1 teaspoon

(optional) – Red color

Process

Take a mixing bowl and place all the chicken (hope you first wash the chicken, no need to say)

Marinate nicely in the chicken, ginger n garlic paste, chilli powder, pepper powder, cornflour, maida, salt and the color (optional) and keep it in the refrigerator for 2-3hrs. (Refrigeration is not a mandate; you can straight away go to the next step)

Take it out and mix egg and ajinamoto (optional)

Sprinkle the chopped green chillies and squeeze the lime

Now in a frying pan, little deep enough, a kind of an Indian kadai, pour oil and nicely heat it, till you can feel the temperature of the oil and you know that if you now put any thing in it, it will nicely give the sound of deep frying.

So put your marinated chicken, whatever quantity it can hold, you will notice that as you place the chicken the coat is getting crisper, so turn it around and fry it for 10mins or till the time you know that the chicken cooked.

Now…………………………………. ENJOY!!!
