ORIGINS OF CHICKEN 65 – REIMAGINED
Originally created at the Buhari Hotel in Chennai in 1965, Chicken 65 became an instant legend for its:
• Deep red color
• Fried crisp texture
• Garlic-ginger-chili flavor
• Aromatic, slightly tangy finish
But the original was made with refined flour, MSG, and fried in seed oils.
Core65™ upgrades the legend into a gut-friendly, performance meal worthy of ancient warriors and modern mystics alike.
