Chicken pickle is delicious among all the non-veg pickles. I learned it from my mother. She used to serve one chicken piece with some pickle gravy. but i wanted to eat it more. If i asked her to serve more, she used to tell me that “eating too much of this pickle may increase heat levels in the body”. And that’s true.
In this recipe, i told to boil the chicken before pickling. Because, if you fry chicken directly in oil without boiling , it may become hard. It’s my personal experience. Once i skipped boiling and i felt like eating chicken stones.
In Andhra Pradesh, this pickle is served with rice.
