Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 frying chicken
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup rum
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 sazon goya
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • Cut chicken into chunks, if you purchase from a butcher have them cut it into chunks to save time and effort. You should get 10-16 pieces.
  • Combine soy sauce, lemon juice, rum, minced garlic, ginger, and bay leaf in bowl or zipper bag, add chicken pieces, and let marinate at least 4 hours in refrigerator (overnight is best).
  • Combine flour, oregano, sazon, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and put on a plate or waxed paper for dredging.
  • In an electric fryer, or on the stove in a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil (to 375 degrees if you have a thermometer).
  • Right before frying, dredge chicken 4-5 pieces at a time, and fry until crisp and golden brown. The time will depend on the size of the chicken.
  • As you complete each batch, remove cooked pieces to a rack or paper towel lined plate to drain. Dredge and fry next batch.

Time 4h40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 medium limes)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 lbs boneless chicken breasts, strips
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
vegetable oil, about 1 to 1/2 cups (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine marinade ingredients in a plastic zipper bag.
  • Add chicken strips and marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  • Combine flour, paprika, pepper and salt in another zipper bag.
  • Transfer chicken strips to flour mixture, coating evenly.
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat and fry chicken in batches of 4 strips (don't overcrowd; oil will cool down too much during cooking), taking about 4 minutes per side to brown outside and thoroughly cook insides.
  • When done, transfer chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels, and lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • Cook remaining batches of strips, keeping others warm in a low-temp oven.
