Chicken 65( Breast fillets) :


Chicken 65 is a spicy, deep-fried chicken dish originating from Chennai , India, as an entree, or quick snack. (Chicken 65 was a dish introduced in 1965 at the famous Buhari Hotel restaurant in Chennai by its founder A.M.Buhari, a pioneer in the South Indian food industry. The flavor of the dish can be attributed to red chillies but the exact set of ingredients for the recipe can vary. It can be prepared using boneless or bone-in chicken and is usually served with onion and lemon garnish. While the name "Chicken 65" is universally used to refer to the dish, there are many different theories claiming its origins. And this is one of my favourite dish especially as an evening snack or with Sambhar rice/ Rasam rice. Her I have used the sliced and chopped breast fillets.
