Thread Chicken recipe. Crispy thread chicken recipe

Thread chicken

Thread Chicken is one of my favorite and age old recipe. In this recipe I marinate chicken strips for few hours and then bind it with eggs , cornflour. All purpose flour and roll the marinated chicken in samosa patti strips and then deep fry them until they turn crispy and golden in colour. Thread Chicken is best when served with schezwan sauce

This method of rolling in samosa patti has changed over the years and replaced by ready made thread like ingredient , called “THREADS ” for thread chicken which is easily available in market to be rolled with , but I still prefer my 20 years old , method of chopping the samosa pattis into thin strips and rolling the chicken into it and then deep frying them into crispy Thread chicken.

For biding too , I have made it very easy , nor do I use egg nor all purpose flour. Just cornflour and roll in samosa strips and deep fry them.
Here is my easy , peasy , quick recipe of Thread Chicken. I am sure you will love it.
