👩‍🍳 How to Make Crispy Garlic Chicken

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

Wash and clean the chicken pieces properly. In a bowl, add chicken, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, pepper powder, salt, cornflour, and maida. Mix everything well and let it marinate for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Fry Until Crispy

Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry the marinated chicken pieces on medium flame until they become crispy and golden brown. Remove and keep aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Sauce

Take another pan and heat a little oil. Add chopped garlic and dry red chilies. Sauté for a few seconds until the garlic turns aromatic.

Step 4: Toss the Chicken

Add soy sauce, tomato ketchup, and chili sauce into the pan. Mix well and cook for one minute. Now add the fried chicken pieces and toss everything together until the sauce coats the chicken perfectly.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve
