hourIngredients
Boneless Chicken Strips – 200 gm
Red Chili Powder – 1 tsp
Salt – 1 tsp
Black Pepper Powder – 1 tsp
Ginger Garlic Paste – 1 tbsp
Chili Sauce – 1 tbsp
Soy Sauce – 2 tbsp
Egg – 1
Corn Flour – 3 tbsp
Samosa Patti/Samosa Wrappers – 1 Pack
Cooking Oil – For frying
Directions
- In a bowl, combine Boneless Chicken Strips (200 gm), Red Chili Powder (1 tsp), Salt (1 tsp), Black Pepper Powder (1 tsp), Ginger Garlic Paste (1 tbsp), Chili Sauce (1 tbsp), Soy Sauce (2 tbsp), Egg (1), and Corn Flour (3 tbsp). Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Take aftermarket samosa patti (samosa wrappers) and cut them into thin strips along their width. Gently fluff up the strips to ensure they are separated and not sticking together, as this will be our magical coating.
- Retrieve the marinated chicken and place it into the strips we just cut. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly covered with the coating and gently press the strips onto the chicken to ensure they stick. Place the coated chicken in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the coating to set and maintain its shape while frying.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken strips until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, ensuring they are cooked through.

With the tantalizing aroma wafting through the kitchen, your Crispy Thread Chicken is now ready to be served. Arrange the golden-brown chicken strips on a platter, garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for an extra burst of flavor, and serve hot alongside your favorite dipping sauce or a refreshing salad.
Storage and Shelf Life
To ensure freshness and longevity, store any leftovers properly. Crispy Thread Chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, consider freezing the cooked chicken strips. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month, tightly sealed in a freezer-safe bag or container. Alternatively, if you prefer to freeze the uncooked chicken strips for future use, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Useful Tips
Here are some useful tips for a perfect crispy thread chicken recipe:
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to prevent it from becoming greasy.
- To avoid overcrowding the frying pan, fry the chicken strips in batches.
- For a healthier option, you can also bake the chicken strips in the oven until crispy and golden brown.
