Juice of 1onion
Garlic paste 1tbsp
Ginger paste 1/2tbsp
Chopped garlic 1tbsp
Chopped green chilly 1/2 tbsp
Dark soya sauce 4tsp

Procedure
Cut the chicken in 1 inch pieces.Clean, wash and pat dry. Marinate with the onion juice, ginger and garlic pastes. Keep aside for 1hr.
Place flour mixed with little bit of salt on a plate. Heat oil for deep frying in a wok or a deep kadhai.
Dust every chicken piece with flour nicely on all sides. Fry in batches and drain in kitchen tissue.
Heat 1tbsp oil. Add chopped garlic and chillies to the oil. Cook in high till the garlic is just fried. Add fried chicken pieces along with soya sauce, sugar and salt. Coat the chicken well till glossy.
Put off the heat and serve at once.

It is very good as a starter or with gravy pan fried noodles.
Tastes best if cooked chicken with the bones.

Jimmy's Kitchen Kolkata serves this dish. Many of us are nostalgic and swear by their dry chilly chicken.
I tried to recreate this, for my family and it won hands down.
