Pan fried garlic chicken is a tempting appetizer which melts in mouth. i like the gar’licky’ flavor of the chicken.however it won’t taste good unless you soak it for longer time.in the text version below i have mentioned 2 -3 hours for marination but soaking overnight gives the best result.
garlic chicken can also be prepared using oven.For this , preheat the oven to 200 °c and bake for 20 – 30 minutes.brush chicken with oil in between to retain its moisture.otherwise they will become hard. i like pan fried ones more than baked because of its slight smoky flavor.
salad prepared with thinly sliced onions,carrots,cabbage and dressed with 1/4 cup thick yogurt,1 tbsp mayonnaise,1/4 tsp sugar,1/2 tsp salt,1/4 white pepper powder,freshly chopped celery would be the best accompaniment.keep on cooking….enjoy eating 🙂
