Wash the chicken pieces and season them with adobo seasoning and garlic paste.

In a bowl, combine 3 cups of flour with 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 2 tablespoons of dried parsley, 1.5 teaspoons of dried oregano, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper.

Beat 2 large eggs in a separate bowl.

Place half of the chicken in a ziplock bag or bowl, pour the beaten eggs over it, and ensure the chicken is coated.

Add the seasoned flour to the chicken and shake to coat evenly.

Heat a large amount of oil in a saucepan over medium heat for deep frying.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the chicken for about 20-25 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the chicken and let it drain on a plate lined with napkins.
