Dhaka Chicken

Step by step crispy fried Dhaka Chicken recipe.

Dhaka Chicken lovers, I’ve got you all covered in this post. This is an absolutely versatile recipe and I can share number of tips to make it your own.

How to make it?

Take chicken, spices, lemon juice, chicken cube and sesame seeds in a bowl.

Add 1 egg and mix well.

Also add corn flour and plain flour.

Mix well. (The mixture is dough like, just separate chicken pieces and coat with flour).

In a bowl take plain flour and coat each chicken piece with flour. ( See tips 1 to skip coating and fry immediately.)

Chicken nuggets are ready to fry, freeze or bake.

To fry: Heat oil in a wok, add chicken nuggets and fry on medium high heat until golden.

Remove on a kitchen towel and serve immediately.

To bake : Preheat oven at 400 F and bake chicken nuggets on baking tray for 20 minutes or until done.

To freeze: Freeze chicken nuggets separately on a baking tray. Once frozen transfer all nuggets in freezer bag in freezer for a month. Fry frozen nuggets on medium heat without thawing.

Tips

1. If you plan to fry all chicken immediately, you can add 1 extra egg. The extra egg will turn the mixture into a tempura like dough. Then you can fry directly and skip final coating with flour.
2. After coating, you can freeze chicken nugget separately on a tray. Then store inan air tight bag with extra corn flour.
3. If you wish to bake this chicken nuggets instead of frying. Spread nugget on baking tray, then spray little oil on both side of nuggets. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes until done and golden.
4. Lastly, you can also make a garlicky sweet and sour sauce and add these chicken nuggets in it. Serve with rice and enjoy.
