Hot & Spicy Chicken 65 | Non Deep Fry | Restaurant Style Chicken 65 Recipe

Hello Foodies,
Juicy, perfectly tender chicken breasts are liberally seasoned and marinated with homemade Indian spices, yogurt and eggs and air fried for the best texture and then sauteed in yogurt based sauce. Don't it sounds yummy? Yup, it is! My hubby can eat Chicken 65 for any meal. He just loves it. This recipe starts in the air fryer for a perfect golden brown sear then finishes on the stovetop for the most flavourful and tastiest result. I have prepared quite a lot chicken 65 recipes and ended up concluding that this one is the very best version with a soft juicy and really flavorful result. Which can be served as a quick appetizer for any parties.

Do you need an air fryer in your home?
This GoWISE air fryer is my Christmas gift, I got it from my Santa. I have done unboxing video on this air fryer and after that getting tons of requests for air fryer recipes. So I have prepared Mawa gujiya first time in my air fryer and outcome was superb. We loved it. Then I did a test, and started with my chicken 65 recipe and tested half in oven and halt in the airfryer. And results are: The chicken was juicy, moist in the inside and crispy, tender on the outside and both tasted exactly the same. The good thing to using the air fryer is it cooked in about half the time which is pretty good.
