SOME MORE FAQ’S FOR THE CHICKEN RECIPE:

Is chicken 65 a dish from Chinese Cuisine?

Not exactly, this is an Indian originated recipe and always made in indo-chinese style where the chicken is marinated and deep fried and then sauteing in some curry leaves and yogurt tempering.

Why is it called chicken 65?

It is said that this dish was served on number 65 in Chennai and not only this but there are many theories surrounding its name but overall because of the name of the recipe it has become one of the most popualar recipes across India in chicken varieties.

Difference between chicken 65 and chilli chicken?

Chicken 65 here in my recipe does not use any kind of sauce such as soy sauce or chili sauce and just stir frying the deep fried chicken in curry leaves tempering makes it a wonderful snack. In the recipe I have added yogurt but it can be skipped if not preferred.

On the other hand, chili chicken uses various sauces such as soy sauce, chili sauce, cubes of capsicum, diced onion and gives a chinese effect to the whole dish. The deep fried chicken is stir fried and veggies and sauces and is totally different from chicken recipe shared here.

It is definitely one of the most sought after dishes in India these days.

    The chicken pieces did not turn out soft. What needs to be corrected?

      Egg makes the chicken soft…It is essential in giving the soft texture to it…
      If you add more amount of maida and corn flour they turn crispy and hard…
