Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup heavy soy sauce or dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 2-pound frying chickens, each cut into 16 pieces
1 quart vegetable oil
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 limes, cut into sixths

Steps:

In a large stainless-steel or glass bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce and salt. Add chicken; stir, refrigerate and allow to marinate at least 3 hours.
Pour oil into a wok or large pot and heat over medium heat until very hot, but not smoking. Meanwhile, combine flour, pepper and cayenne in a paper bag and set aside.
Drain chicken and pat dry. Drop 3 or 4 chicken pieces into the bag with the seasoned flour and shake until well coated; repeat with remaining chicken.
Using a slotted spoon, slowly add the chicken, a few pieces at a time, to the oil and deep-fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until served. Serve with lime wedges.
