Cut the chicken into medium pieces, preferably using thighs or drumsticks, and leave the skin on for flavor and fat.

If using chicken parts without fat, chop the skin into small pieces and cook it in a pan without any oil to render the fat.

Season the chicken with garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

Squeeze the juice of half an orange over the chicken and add pieces of white and red onion, mixing thoroughly.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat with a lid, allowing it to release its own juices for at least 20 minutes, checking periodically and flipping the pieces.

While the chicken cooks, boil potatoes until soft, then mash and season with salt and a bit of oil.

Fry the mashed potatoes in a bit of the chicken fat until golden brown, making small patties.

Fry ripe plantains until golden and serve alongside the fritada.
