Method :

Step 1).Take 2-3 slices of bread at a time and soak them in water for 2-3 seconds and immediately remove the water by pressing the loafs between your palms softly.The water should be removed thoroughly.Wet all the slices and keep them aside in a bowl.

Step 6). Now fry 4-5 chucklies in one go. Fry on medium flame so that they get crisp from within too.Take them out once they turn brown.
