Chicken Majestic

Chicken majestic is an Andra style dry starter chicken. This is made by deep frying thin strips of chicken and sautéing them in Andra style spicy sauce until well coated. This sauce is made from yogurt and few spices. Boneless chicken thighs is good to use for this recipe.
My whole family is addicted to this taste. I use to have this chicken with just rice and rasam. Chicken majestic is one of the best choice to serve as appetizer in a party.
