Origins
Chicken 65 was a dish introduced in 1965 of 65 Rupees at the Buhari Hotel restaurant [1] in Chennai by its founder A.M.Buhari. They also offer Chicken 78, Chicken 82 and Chicken 90, introduced in 1978, 1982 and 1990 of 78, 82 and 90 rupees respectively. Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati (Season 1), featured Chicken 65 as a Buhari invention as did Siddarth Basu's Quiz Time on Doordarshan in the 1990s. A report in The Hindu in 2013 also mentions this.[1]
Another account claims that it is a dish containing 65 chilli peppers devised by an enterprising hotelier.[2]
