Como fazer Mexican Fried Chicken
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic and mash with 1/2 teaspoon of salt until a paste forms.
- Rub the garlic paste all over 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts).
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a shallow glass dish.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce, and 1/4 cup of finely chopped white onion.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, turning the chicken twice during this time. Alternatively, marinate in a zip-top bag.
- Remove chicken from marinade and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin.
- Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil (about 2 cups) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place chicken in the hot oil, skin-side down. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Uncover and cook for 15 minutes.
- Turn the chicken pieces and cook covered for another 5 minutes.
- Uncover and cook for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Remove chicken from skillet and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle with extra salt while still warm and serve immediately. Enjoy!
