Spicy Chicken Leg Fry (Indian Style) is a tasty and crunchy Indian appetizer or side dish. In this recipe, I used fresh aromatic Indian spices and curry leaves blended paste for its ground masala. The fresh chicken legs/thigh must be marinated with these spices paste and refrigerated for 3 hours (at least). In Kerala (India), chappati and kozhikkaallu Porichathu (Chicken Leg Fry) is an important delicacy in all mallu nonveg restaurants. Yeah! It tastes awesome:-) and it is a good recipe for parties, picnics, and festivals too. Try this aromatic Spicy Indian Style Chicken Leg Fry and enjoy π
