Sarah- If you are South Asian you probably heard of chicken 65 but I'm here to give you somewhat a healthy version so here I present to you with Baked Chicken 65. I always had it in restaurants but for the past 2 year I have been trying to make at home after so many trials and error I present to you with a healthy option when it comes to consuming chicken 65.
The lemon juice in marination adds a subtle tangy taste to add to the dish. I sometime use 1 tbsp of vinegar and 1 tbsp lemon juice. In this recipe, please make sure you are not subtituting store bought lemon juice. The taste will change believe me I have made this mistake in the past. I am also using chilli garlic sauce, this gives the baked chicken 65 it's flavor but I am using Swad brand but if you can find a Mitchell it tastes so much better. Sadly, I am unable to find the Mitchell brand in Memphis. I have substitute wheat flour instead of rice flour in the past but the outcome wasn't good, so I highly recommend the use of rice flour as the recipe says. I know chicken 65 is dry but I like having some curry because then my toddler will refused to eat it thus, I came up with this unique recipe.
This recipes is one of our favorites. As always it is toddler approved. I sometime make chicken 65 and eat it with salad on the side if I'm trying to lose weight. Vaquas really likes it with some onions on the side. This recipe is preferably I hope you give this recipe a try.
