Chicharrones de Pollo

Ingredientes

• 1 cup oil
• 2 1/2 pounds chicken thighs
• 1 lemon
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sazón
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoon adobo
• 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch

Preparación

1. 1

   Cut the chicken thighs. If your thighs are big cut it into 3 pieces. If small, cut it into 2 pieces. Transfer the chicken into a large bowl. Squeeze the lemon over it and mix it well.

2. 2

   In a small bowl add salt, sazón, adobo, onion powder, black pepper and dried oregano. Mix it well and save a tablespoon of the mix to put into the flour. Season all the thighs with the rest of the seasoning. Mix it well until all the pieces are completely covered.

3. 3

   In a large bowl add your flour, cornstarch, seasoning and mix it well. Bread every piece of chicken and make sure it is well coated. Pull the skin up whenever possible and make sure the flour gets in there too. Shake off any excess flour.

4. 4

   In a large pan add your oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces for 6 minutes on each side. Do this in 2 batches. If you want crunchier chicken, then fry for an extra minute per side. Remove from oil. Serve and enjoy.
