The next fried-chicken craze?
BBCThe next fried-chicken craze? Hari Prasad Kethel's Chicken has been trademarked, but that doesn't deter copycat restaurants from springing up For more than 70 years, this tiny restaurant has been dishing out its signature meal – Kethel's fried chicken – Kerala's spicy, finger-licking food. Fried chicken is a popular dish in Kerala – where it's called "chicken fry" – and is almost always spicy and fiery. "Kethel's as a brand is synonymous with the tender chicken fry," said food blogger Anjana Gopakumar, a food and beverage consultant who is also an admin of the popular Facebook group Eat at Trivandrum. Nina Cherian, an expat living in Dubai said, "Kethel's fried chicken stands testament to the fact that simple ingredients make the best dish – a delicious spice rub on tender chicken fried in coconut oil – heaven on a plate."
