The Roots of Indian Chicken Fry
Across India, every region has its take on fried chicken. From Andhra’s spice-laden fiery versions to Kerala’s coconut-infused crispies, Chicken Fry has many faces. What unites them is the love for bold flavour and crispy texture—both of which serve as comfort and celebration.
Tunday’s version borrows from North Indian traditions but adds its own Awadhi twist. It’s less about batter and more about depth of marination, clarity of spice, and perfect control over the frying process.
How We Do It at Tunday
It all begins with bone-in chicken, carefully selected for its ability to stay juicy during the fry. The pieces are marinated overnight in a house-made blend of ginger, garlic, crushed pepper, chilli, and garam masala. A dash of lemon juice is added for brightness, while crushed mint and coriander stems bring freshness to the mix.
Instead of heavy breading, we coat the chicken lightly with seasoned flour just before frying. This technique ensures that the crispy crust complements—not hides—the flavours of the marination. The chicken hits the oil only once the temperature is perfect, creating that satisfying sizzle that locks in juices while developing a golden, crackling shell.
The result? Each piece bursts with flavour from the inside and delivers crunch with every bite.
What Makes Ours Different
At Tunday, the Chicken Fry doesn’t rely on excess grease or overpowering heat. It’s a balanced build of spice, acid, and texture. There’s no sogginess, no bland bite, and no artificial shortcuts.
Our spices are ground in-house. The oil is monitored closely and changed frequently. And every batch is cooked to order—never reheated, never rushed. This consistency is why one bite tastes like the last—and why that bite stays on your mind.
What truly elevates it is its double-layered experience: the initial crunch, followed by tender, marinated meat that reveals itself slowly. This contrast of textures and temperatures makes it addictive.
Perfect Pairings: How to Eat It
Though it’s incredible on its own, our Chicken Fry becomes even more unforgettable when paired smartly. Some like to enjoy it with Roomali Roti and chutney for a fuller meal. Others prefer to pair it with a glass of Salted Lassi for balance.
For those on the go, it makes a quick and satisfying midday snack. And if you’re ordering for the table, it’s the perfect sharing plate to get the appetite going.
However you choose to enjoy it, just be warned—it’s rarely a one-piece affair.
