🧂 Ingredients
For Marination:
Chicken pieces – 4 leg pieces (with bone)
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tbsp
Red chili powder – 1 tsp (adjust to taste)
Black pepper powder – 1 tsp
Salt – 1 tsp
Vinegar – 2 tbsp
Lemon juice – 2 tbsp
Soy sauce – 1 tbsp
Mustard paste (optional) – ½ tsp
For Coating:
All-purpose flour (maida) – 1½ cups
Cornflour – ½ cup
Baking powder – ½ tsp
Salt – ½ tsp
Black pepper – ½ tsp
Paprika powder – ½ tsp (for color)
Cold water or buttermilk—as needed
For Frying:
Oil—for deep frying
👩🍳 Instructions
🔸 Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
1. Wash and pat the chicken pieces dry.
2. In a bowl, mix ginger-garlic paste, red chili, black pepper, salt, vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, and mustard paste.
3. Add chicken pieces and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (overnight for best flavor).
🔸 Step 2: Prepare Coating Mixture
1. In a large plate, mix maida, cornflour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika powder.
2. In another bowl, keep some cold water or buttermilk ready.
🔸 Step 3: Coat the Chicken
Take each marinated chicken piece, coat it in the flour mixture, then quickly dip it in cold water and coat it again with the flour.
2. Press the flour onto the chicken to form a rough, craggy texture (for extra crispiness).
🔸 Step 4: Frying
1. Heat oil in a deep pan or wok on medium heat.
Carefully add the coated chicken to the pan and fry on medium heat for 10–12 minutes, or until it is golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
3. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
🍟 Serving Suggestion
Serve hot with:
French fries 🍟
Garlic mayo or ketchup
Fresh salad or coleslaw
Dinner rolls or buns
It also tastes great inside a burger bun with lettuce and sauce!
💡 Tips for Perfect Broast
Don’t skip double coating—it gives that signature crispy crust.
After coating the chicken, refrigerate it for 15 to 20 minutes before frying
Maintain a medium flame—too high will burn the outside and leave the inside raw.
You can air-fry or bake for a healthier version (but traditional fry tastes best 😉).
🌶 Variations You Can Try
For a spicy roast, incorporate crushed red chili or hot sauce into the marinade.
Zinger Style:
Use boneless fillets instead of leg pieces.
Buttermilk Soak:
Marinating chicken in buttermilk for several hours improves its tenderness.
📝 Conclusion
This homemade chicken breast recipe is a crispy, spicy delight that tastes just like your favorite fast food joint—but even better! Try it once and you’ll never want to order again.
