Hyderabadi Wedding Chicken Fry

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.

  1. Hi! How many people does this recipe serve? What sort of pieces do you recommend – leg or breast/thigh?

    1. It would be good for 4-5 people, actually depends on how much quantity they eat. 🙂 Any piece would do, whichever you prefer. I use a mix of all.
