Andhra Chicken is one food that I die for. Andhra food is known for its hot tangy and spicy tasty food. It is the leading state in growing Rice and Spices because of which Rice has become the staple food of people over there. Majority of people in Andhra are non-vegetarian. Everyone in my family loves Andhra cuisines especially the non vegetarian dishes because of the different spices that adds aroma to it. My mother makes delicious Andhra chicken, so this time even i thought of giving it a try. It was made really good, I could not beat my  mother but it tasted really well 'as said by my family members' :)

Andhra Chicken is made in many ways.This is my way of preparing, do give it a try and enjoy this spicy Andhra Chicken. I hope you will definately like it... :)
