• STEP 6.Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
• STEP 7.Serve the Dhaniya Fried Chicken hot with mint chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.

Cooking Tips

• For extra crispy chicken, double coat the chicken pieces by dipping them in the batter twice.
• You can adjust the spice level by adding or reducing the amount of green chilies in the coriander paste.
• To make the chicken healthier, you can also bake it in the oven instead of deep-frying.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Dhaniya Fried Chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the chicken in a preheated oven or toaster oven to maintain its crispiness.
• Serve the chicken as an appetizer with mint chutney or as a main course with rice or naan bread.
