chicken pieces

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Skinless chicken reduces fat content.

Marinate chicken pieces with lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper for at least 3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor.

Prepare a mixture of all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, chicken bouillon, and salt for dredging the chicken.

Heat sufficient vegetable oil in a deep skillet until shimmering.

Dredge marinated chicken in the flour mixture and carefully add to the hot oil, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove chicken from oil and drain on paper towels.

In the same oil, fry plantain slices until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove plantains from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve fried chicken alongside crispy plantains, garnished with fresh cilantro.
