How do I make Chicken 65 crunchy?

Question

My older sister keeps telling me that the Chicken 65 she had at a restaurant had this crunchy taste and since I've made this recipe twice now: I've been unable to get that crunch. I believed that it was an issue with the flour I was using, but that doesn't seem to be the case? My first Chicken 65 recipe consisted of just using Corn Starch--at the time there was no Corn Flour available: the chicken after being deep-fried came out soft but not crunchy. On the second try, this time with Corn Flour mixed with Rice Flour and a tablespoon of Corn Starch: there still remains to be no crunch, only a soft coating. What ingredient am I missing to get that crunch?

Answer 1

So, 2 things: First use rice flour instead of corn starch. Corn starch is mostly used in Indo-Chinese recipes. In Indian recipes like chili chicken, always fry chicken 65 in super hot oil. I am not sure if you make it with sauce or dry but if you are making it with sauce make sure you add chicken at very end.
