Chennai Classic

Chicken 65 is a legendary South Indian appetizer that originated in Chennai in 1965, hence the name. Our authentic recipe stays true to the original preparation - tender boneless chicken pieces are marinated in thick yogurt along with ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, and garam masala. The marinated chicken is then coated with corn flour and deep-fried until it achieves that perfect golden-brown color and crispy exterior while maintaining juicy tenderness inside.

What makes our Chicken 65 special is the final tempering process - the fried chicken is tossed with fresh curry leaves, sliced green chilies, and mustard seeds that have been sautéed to release their aromatic oils. This traditional technique infuses the dish with authentic South Indian flavors that make it irresistibly fragrant and flavorful. We garnish it with fresh curry leaves and serve it with lemon wedges, making it the perfect appetizer or side dish.
