A delicious fried chicken which is usually served during Hyderabadi weddings. 

I have never been to a Hyderabadi wedding but heard a lot about the unique, royal dishes they serve during the function. I saw this shadiyon wala red chicken fry (as how it is popularly known) recipe in YouTube recently and I knew instantly that this is going to be a huge hit. 

I made a few changes from the original recipe based on what I had in my kitchen and it turned out absolutely stunning. You can find the original recipe video here. 

INGREDIENTS:

For marinating:

• 700g chicken
• 2 tsp red chilli powder
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
• 1 tsp chaat masala powder
• 1/4 tsp black pepper powder
• 4 tsp ginger garlic paste
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 3 tsp corn flour
• 1 tbsp red chilli sauce/ sriracha sauce
• 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
• 1 egg white
• Red food color (optional)
• Salt to taste

For coating:

• 4 tbsp all purpose flour
• 4 tbsp corn flour
• Salt to taste

Vegetable oil for deep frying

NOTES:

• Red food color is totally optional. I didn’t add. You can add if you want to make it look more appealing. 
• Fry in medium low flame till the chicken gets cooked inside (about 15 minutes), then finally increase flame to high for 5 minutes till the coating gets crisp. 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Marinate the chicken with above mentioned ingredients. Keep for minimum 2 hours or overnight.
2. Combine all the coating ingredients and place in a bowl. 
3. Before frying, dip the chicken pieces in the coating mix, shake off excess and deep fry till crisp.
