Or could it be that the dish incorporates a staggering 65 different spices and ingredients? Well, the actual reason behind why it is named "Chicken 65" lies elsewhere.


Chicken 65 comes from South India and is very popular in Malaysian restaurants, especially those known for banana leaf dishes. People have different ideas about where the name comes from like i said before, But most people agree that it got its name because it was created in 1965 at the famous Buhari Hotel in Chennai, India.
