Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 1 whole fryer chicken, cut into chunks 3-4 lbs
  • 1 ½ tbsp all purpose Adobo seasoning available in Latin/Ethnic food aisle
  • 1 tsp Sazon seasoning with Culantro and Achiote available in Latin/Ethnic food aisle
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Mazola Corn Oil

Chicken Coating

  • 3/4 cup Argo® Corn Starch
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp all purpose Adobo seasoning available in Latin/Ethnic food aisle
  • 1 tsp Sazon seasoning with Culantro and Achiote available in Latin/Ethnic food aisle
  • Mazola Corn Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken in a non-reactive container. Combine all the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken. Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and marinate for one hour in the fridge.

  2. Using a programmable fryer, heat corn oil to 350 degrees F. While the oil heats up, combine the chicken coating ingredients in a zip top bag.

  3. Coat each piece of chicken with the corn starch mixture. Fry the chicken in batches, until golden brown and crispy. This should take 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken pieces.

  4. Drain the chicken on paper towels and serve immediately.
