CRUNCHY PEANUT FRIED CHICKEN WRAP
I was craving fried chicken, but I did not want to go the old way of deep frying with flour coating not did I want to use cornflakes to coat my chicken, so I came up with this idea of making a crunchy peanut fried chicken wrap! Oh Girl, this wrap was so delicious and it hit the spot instantly.

PEANUT FRIED CHICKEN

- Roast the peanuts in oven or on a pan, rub with a kitchen towel and remove the skin. Crush in a food processor, and then season it with 1 tbsp red chilli powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp cumin powder, 1 tsp pepper powder and salt.
- Beat two eggs in a bowl and season with salt and red chilli powder.
- Coat the marinated chicken, first in some plain flour, then in the egg mixture and finally with the peanut mixture.
- Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket, spray it with some oil and air fry at 190 degree celsius for 20 to 25 minutes. Make sure to flip sides half way through.
HOT SAUCE
- Boil red peppers, red chillies, garlic, salt and water together for 10 to 15 minutes and let it cool down completely. Once cool blend in a mixer jar until its smooth.
- Strain the mixture, add jaggery or brown sugar along with butter and cook until it comes to a boil.
- If you feel the consistency is too thin, go ahead and add some corn starch to thicken it a bit.
