Chicken 65 is a popular South Indian appetizer made with bite-sized pieces of chicken that are marinated in a spicy blend of yogurt, chili, ginger-garlic, and aromatic spices, then deep-fried until crisp and golden. Known for its bold flavours, vibrant red colour, and irresistible crunch, the dish is often finished with curry leaves, green chilies, and a splash of lemon juice. Spicy, tangy, and savory, Chicken 65 is commonly served as a starter or snack, especially at restaurants and celebrations.
