I have tried making this recipe more than 20 times at my home, most of the time it turns out rubbery and hard. After many experiments, I learned the simple trick to make it perfect.

The trick is Marinating.

For marinating the chicken use thick yogurt or curd and always marinate it for minimum 2 hours. If you marinate it for a long time it gives nice juicy chicken 65.

You can use Chicken Breast, Chicken thighs, chicken drumsticks and chicken with bones for this recipe. But Chicken thighs gives nice flavourful chicken 65.

Rice flour and Corn flour gives nice crispy texture to chicken65.

Always fry chicken over a medium heat and avoid crowding it in oil, so that it would get cooked evenly on all the sides.
