Method
Preparing the Chicken
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with Piri Piri sauce. Make sure the chicken is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika.
Dredge the Chicken
Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess sauce drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated.
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Making the Green Aïoli
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and well-blended.
