A new post and this time I am sharing a wonderful post which was made so unplanned and turned out to be a hit!..Chili Garlic Chicken Bites!
I was craving for some spicy yet tasty and not to forget fried chicken 😋 but I wanted to eat some Indian taste to the chicken too so I thought of making a Indian influenced chicken bites.
If you are not a deep fried food fan then try air frying them that's a healthier alternative or even bake them!
Another way to cook them would be shallow/pan fry these!
If you like very spicy/hot food then try adding little more chili powder/pepper powder to this and you will love this even more. I used chili powder moderately as I wanted to make it and serve to my family too.
I am so addicted to fried chicken but I don't prepare it often for health reasons but I make these recipes once in a while so that I do not totally miss on fried food 😀
This recipe can be a great appetizer/snack for parties/potluck. Kids will be attracted to this dish as all kids love chicken and that too fried ,crisp and yumm!!
Do try and share your feedback!
