Street Style Chicken Fried Rice Recipe | Roadside Hotel Chicken Rice | Leftover Rice Recipes

Chicken fried rice is cooked in different ways in different regions of India and all over the country. This version of chicken fried rice is commonly found in the roadside hotels and thalluvandi shops of tamilnadu. It is a bright red colored rice made with selective spice powders. Small bite sized pieced of fried chicken to every spoonful of rice made this dish super delicious. Some streets side shops usually adds ajinomoto to enhance the taste. But i can say for sure it will taste good without ajinomoto if cooked this way. I really miss having these yummy fried rice from India. So i prepare atleast once in a month at home. It is my son and hubby's favorite homemade food.
