Part of Fried Chicken: Three Ways
While chicharones are traditionally crispy pork, here I am just taking the crispy and flavorful aspects of it, and using it for the world’s greatest food, fried chicken.
ingredients:
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp sugar
2 pounds chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Pour the mixture in a freezer bag, and add the chicken, cover with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for a few hours.
Heat oil in a pan. I don’t like to deep fry, but shallow fry. So just enough oil to go up about 1/2 on a large pan.
Whisk together the flour, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and pat dry. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour.
Fry the chicken pieces, only about 3-5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned. I always like to drain fried foods on a wire rack, instead of paper towels. so that the chicken doesn’t soak back up that nasty oil.
This is great with rice, or even with tortillas and some salsa.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
I love hearing the suggestion for draining the fried chicken on the racks instead of paper towels – such great advice. I am loving these posts on the chicken – I wanna just jump in and chow down!
