Chicken and Sides

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the seasoned chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry for about 8-10 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sides

    While the chicken is frying, prepare your choice of sides. For tostones, slice green plantains and fry them until golden. For French fries, fry the pre-cut fries in the same oil until crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken and sides are cooked, serve them on a plate with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken.
