There are several interesting stories about the name; some say the marinade was made with 65 ingredients, others say it has 65 chili peppers and yet others say it was first introduced in 1965. I am pretty sure about one thing though, this is one of the tastiest chicken appetizers. Once tasted, it&#8217;s not that easy to forget about this dish.<\/p>\n<p>I had this as an appetizer at an Indo Chinese restaurant in Chicago, that kind of made me feel that this is an Indo Chinese dish. Apparently,\u00a0this dish was originated in Chennai and that makes it absolutely South Indian.<\/p>\n<p>Bite size chicken pieces mostly boneless are coated with a spicy yogurt marinade and allowed to rest overnight so that all the flavors will get into the chicken and makes it tender too. The chicken is then deep fried till nice golden brown in color. In restaurants, red color will be added to the marinade, now that explains the vibrant red color of this dish. Also, a tempering with mustard seeds\/curry leaves and onion will also be made and garnished\u00a0over the fried chicken which makes this dish even more delicious and aromatic.<\/p>\n<p>A perfect chicken appetizer, even the kids will love it. Usually, this dish is very spicy, but you could always adjust the spice level according to your needs. I&#8217;d added pan fried onion tempering to the fried chicken, tasted delicious.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18950\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/chicken-65.jpg\" alt=\"chicken 65\" width=\"475\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/chicken-65.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/chicken-65-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"#rating#\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/chickne-65-recipe.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chicken 65 Recipe &#8211; Delicious Chicken 65<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Appetiser<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT3H\">3 hours<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT3H25M\">3 hours 25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For marinating chicken[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Boneless Chicken breast or thighs, cubed evenly- 3 breasts or thighs<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger-garlic paste- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Kashmiri red chili powder- 3\/4 to 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground cumin- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garam masala- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Corn flour- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">White Vinegar- 1\/2 tbsp (or use lemon juice)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Yogurt- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomato ketchup- 1 tbsp (optional)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 1 sprig<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making tempering[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil,used for frying chicken- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mustard seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green chilies, halved- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 2 sprigs<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Red onion, sliced thin- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Vinegar- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]Other ingredients[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- for deep frying chicken<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">You could either use chicken breasts or thighs, thighs will turn more softer and tender.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a bowl, combine all the ingredients mentioned for marinating chicken.
