Add 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste (optional) to the mixture.

Marinate the chicken in this mixture for 1 to 1.5 hours in the refrigerator.

For coating, take all-purpose flour and add some black pepper (optional) and salt to taste.

After marinating, coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

Prepare chilled water in a bowl.

Dip the coated chicken pieces in the chilled water briefly before coating them again in the flour mixture.

Ensure to coat each piece thoroughly by pressing the flour onto the chicken.

Heat a sufficient amount of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and fully cooked, about 12-15 minutes.

Cover the frying chicken for 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Once cooked, remove the chicken and place it on a plate to drain excess oil.
