Twister Chicken

Buoyed by the success of the Zinger Fried Chicken the other day, I decided to make a variation of the Zinger twister. My parents are away for the weekend which basically gave me free reign in the kitchen to be able to try out something new and different. There were a few adaptions that I made regarding the roll itself and the filling due to ingredients that I didn't have at home, such as using frozen paratha's instead of making tortilla's from scratch and omitting the lettuce. But otherwise, the meal was just fantastic. The chicken was really easy to make, it was flavorful and the first batch still remained crispy even after dinner had ended. I had leftovers the next day, and it still tasted great.
