Chicken Fry is a simple recipe with a super simple name. The spices and cut of Chicken can vary but the concept of this recipe is to create an amazing marinade, almost like a thick pakora batter that will stick onto the chicken when fried. And if anything fried isn’t delicious enough, this chicken is fried twice!

I believe that the concept of the double fry was created at restaurants as an easy way to reheat and crisp up Chicken that was premade.
