There are various types of fried chicken dishes around the world. Different ingredients are used to give the chicken a crispy coating. But have you ever seen someone use Lay’s chips to give a whole chicken a crunchy exterior? A recent Instagram video showing the same went viral. The clip starts with the vlogger tearing open packets of American-style cream and onion Lay’s chips. He empties packets into a bowl and crushes them into fine crumbs. Next, he takes a whole chicken and pokes holes in it with a fork.
For the marinade, he mixes Indian spices with egg and lemon juice. After that, the chicken is coated thoroughly. The vlogger then rolls the chicken in the crushed Lay’s chips before deep-frying it in hot oil. The final result? A crispy golden-brown fried chicken, served with a dip. His facial expressions seem to suggest that the chicken apparently turned out delicious.
