500g ground chicken

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

2 tbsp minced onions

1 tbsp chopped parsley

Marinade

1/2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

4. Dip the coated chicken into ice-cold water for 5-10 seconds, then drop it back into the flour mixture and massage it to coat it. This will ensure the perfect crumb and crispy crevices. Place the crumbed patty on a plate, and crumb the remaining chicken.
