What You Need

1 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

3/4 cup flour

3 cups oil

Make It

Mix sour cream, milk and 2 tsp. garam masala; spoon over chicken in shallow dish. Turn to evenly coat chicken. Refrigerate 2 hours to marinate, turning chicken after 1 hour. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.

Mix flour, cornstarch, salt and remaining garam masala in separate shallow dish. Add chicken; turn to evenly coat both sides of each piece.

Heat oil in large skillet to 350°F. Add half the chicken; cook 15 to 20 min. or until chicken is golden brown and done (165ºF). Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining chicken.
