Wash the chicken thoroughly, using vinegar or lemon to remove any strange odors.

Make small cuts in the chicken to help it cook more easily.

Season the chicken with 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of cumin, 3 tablespoons of mustard, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, and 3 cloves of garlic.

Marinate the chicken well, ensuring the seasoning covers each piece, and let it rest for at least 1 hour.

Prepare the sweet sauce by blending 5 ripe tomatoes, 1/2 onion, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 piece of bell pepper, and some cilantro until smooth.

Optionally, sauté the blended mixture in margarine or oil before adding it back to the blender.

Add 1 tablespoon of margarine or oil to a pan, then pour in the blended mixture and season with oregano, black pepper, chicken bouillon, paprika, sweet sauce, and tomato paste. Let it simmer for a few minutes.

Prepare the dressing by mixing 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2-3 tablespoons of mustard, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 cup of milk, adjusting the consistency to your preference.

Coat the marinated chicken in flour, ensuring every part is covered to prevent sticking.

Heat enough oil in a deep pan to cover more than half of the chicken pieces.

Fry the chicken, turning it until it is golden brown and cooked through, ensuring to cook on medium-low heat to avoid undercooking.

Finely chop the cabbage using a sharp knife.

Peel the green plantains and slice them into thin pieces.

Fry the plantain slices in the same oil used for the chicken, ensuring they are golden brown before removing them to drain on paper towels.

Assemble the dish by placing the fried plantains, fried chicken, and finely chopped cabbage on a plate, optionally adding pickled red onions for garnish.
