Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Goat Meat
In a large bowl, combine the goat meat, minced garlic, thyme, chopped scotch bonnet pepper, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Prepare for Frying
Remove the marinated goat meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

Fry the Goat Meat
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated goat meat in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry the meat for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until it is golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried goat to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve
