Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil. Coat the chicken pieces with the mixture and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the marinated chicken pieces on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.

Tostones Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tostones

    Peel and slice the green plantains into 1-inch thick pieces. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the plantain pieces for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Remove and flatten each piece using a tostonera or the bottom of a glass.

  2. 4

    Fry Again

    Return the flattened plantains to the hot oil and fry until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the French Fries

    Peel and cut potatoes into fry shapes. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
