Natukodi Vepudu/Country Chicken Fry

Natukodi/Country chicken is where the chickens are raised in the houses or farms. No commercially processed feed is fed to them. Hence the chicken taste is distinct from the regular chickens. The meat is a little tough hence needs extra time to cook.
I got natukodi from our farm and made curry and fry with it. There is no comparison with the chicken we get it from the shops. Everyone in the family loved it.
Normally Country chicken is burnt and cooked with the skin to enhance the taste.  I took the skin off as we don't like the texture of it.
