Crunchy peanut Chicken fry

I keep trying different versions of chicken fry just so that we don't get bored no we never get bored of chicken do we!?This is a similar version to the dish we get at a caterer in our place its their signature dish except that I didn't deep fry everything.

This dish goes very well with lime rice or any everyday curry or sambar. The peanuts fried in coconut oil gives this dish an extra flavour.
