'''Chicken 65''' is a spicy, [[Deep frying|deep-fried]] [[chicken]] dish originating from Hotel Buhari,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://recipes.timesofindia.com/articles/features/what-is-65-in-chicken-65/photostory/60425519.cms|title=What is 65 in Chicken 65?|date=8 September 2017|website=recipes.timesofindia.com}}</ref> [[Chennai]],<ref name=Hindu2013/> [[India]], as an [[entrée]], or quick snack. The flavour of the dish can be attributed to [[chili pepper|red chillies]], but the exact set of ingredients for the recipe can vary. It can be prepared using boneless or bone-in chicken and is usually served with onion and lemon garnish. Vegetarian variants like "Paneer 65" or "Gobi 65" use [[paneer]] or [[cauliflower]] instead. While the name "Chicken 65" is universally used to refer to the dish, there are many different theories claiming its origins.<br />
<br />
==Origins==<br />
Although Chicken 65 is well established as being the invention of A. M. Buhari of the Buhari Hotel chain,<ref name=Hindu2013>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/the-hows-whys-of-our-chicken-65/article5042658.ece|title=The hows & whys of our chicken 65|author=Susanna Myrtle Lazarus|work=The Hindu|access-date=31 May 2015}}</ref> its popularity as a dish has spawned several myths about its origin. One account claims that the dish emerged as a simple meal for Indian soldiers in 1965. Another account claims that it is a dish containing 65 chilli peppers devised by an enterprising hotelier. It is also claimed to relate to a requirement for the meat to be from 65-day-old chickens. Still others claim that it means 65 pieces of chicken. <ref>{{cite book|last=Bhide|first=Monica|title=Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O0i-kMomYIAC|year=2009|publisher=Simon and Schuster|isbn=978-1-4165-6689-2|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=O0i–kMomYIAC&pg=PT227 227]}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Banerji|first=Chitrita|title=Eating India|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LTx4ZiPJbmcC|year=2008|publisher=Penguin Books Limited|isbn=978-81-8475-965-5|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=LTx4ZiPJbmcC&pg=PT161 161]}}</ref><br />
