    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

    Make Morita-Lime Mayo

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, morita chili powder, and lime juice until well combined.
