Method

Cooking Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the mixture all over the chicken pieces.

  2. 2

    Bake the Chicken

    Place the chicken on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Preparing Tostones

  1. 3

    Slice and Fry the Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and cut them into 1-inch thick slices. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly golden.

  2. 4

    Flatten and Fry Again

    Remove the slices from the oil and flatten them using a flat surface. Return them to the hot oil and fry again for another 2-3 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

Preparing French Fries

  1. 5

    Cut and Soak the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

  2. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Fry the potato strips in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
