Chicken 65 is a popular Indian fried chicken dish that originated in Chennai, India. The dish is made by marinating bite-sized pieces of chicken in a blend of spices, typically including ginger, garlic, red chili powder, and turmeric, along with other spices like cumin and coriander. The marinated chicken is then deep-fried until crispy and golden brown.
