Instructions

Preparation for Chicken Brine

2. It really helps to yield soft and tender chicken when fried or grilled

First Marination

1. Drain off the buttermilk and keep the chicken aside
2. In a large bowl, mix together Red Chili Sauce, Ginger Garlic Paste, Soy Sauce , Vinegar, and Salt.
3. Mix in the chicken lollipop pieces, and let the chicken marinate in the spice mix for 15-20 minutes.

Second Marination

1. In a bowl, mix together corn flour, rice flour, all purpose flour, red & Kashmiri chili powder, salt & pepper powder, and add the mix to the marinated chicken, along with some water, and mix everything together. Adjust the quantity of water required little by little as there will be some moisture from the earlier marinade
2. Now Marination look like a semi thick paste-like marinade, that you will need to ensure is applied somewhat evenly over the lollipop pieces right before frying them. You might also need to re-shape the lollipop pieces before spreading out the marinade on them, just before you fry them.
