Chicken 65

Chicken 65 (Dry) is a popular South Indian appetizer made of bite-sized pieces of marinated chicken deep-fried to a crispy, golden-brown perfection. The chicken is typically marinated with a blend of spicy, tangy ingredients like red chili powder, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, and garam masala, infusing each piece with intense flavor. Garnished with curry leaves, green chilies, and occasionally tossed with yogurt or lemon juice, it has a slightly crunchy texture and a robust, zesty taste. Often served as a standalone snack or starter, Chicken 65 is both spicy and savory with a hint of sourness.
