Chicken Chargha
Chicken Chargha
Chicken Chargha is a full chicken which is marinated for several hours and then cooked. The cooking usually has 2 steps; firstly steaming the Chicken and then deep frying it. For those looking for a healthy option may opt to Air-fry or bake it as well.Chargha is quite moist than the Roasted Chicken, reason being that it is steamed first due to which the moistness is intact. I remember the Chargha shops at MainTariq Road which was always so busy. They had a big Wok and used to fry the Steamed Chicken and serve it hot, yum…
