Fried Chicken is often considered one of the most common comfort dishes. If done right and cooked well, fried chicken is juicy, filled with layers of flavour and at the same time crispy. Hence, many have attempted and created their renditions of the all-time-favourite. On the occasion of Fried Chicken Day, Ravish Mishra, Executive Chef from The Westin Goa, shares his lip-smacking recipe Chipotle chilli fried chicken.
