#Dry_chicken_recipe_simple_and_easy_chilli_chicken_recipe
The first thing for making restaurant-style Chilli Chicken dry is to make the chicken crispy outside and juicy from inside.
The batter to fry chicken is a mixture of cornflour and all-purpose flour. Cornflour helps to make crispy. Then there is egg . Adding egg to the batter is optional but it helps to make the coating rich and extra crispy.
It is important to keep the batter of the right consistency. To avoid thin runny batter, drain chicken pieces very well before adding the marination. If still the batter is runny add little more flour to help with the binding. If the batter is too thick add a little water to it.
Once you got the batter right, next is frying the chicken. Ideally, the chicken is deep-fried. When the oil is medium hot start adding the chicken to oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Let the chicken cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes before turning them. Frying chicken in very hot oil will burn the outside and the inside remains uncooked.
You can always adjust the seasoning by adding more sauce to it. I like the sauce bit sweet and spicy. So I add tomato ketchup to the sauce.
To get the deep red colour of the gravy I prefer to use Kashmiri red chilli powder. It is not spicy but gives a nice deep red colour to the dish.
