Add all adobo ingredients into a small mixing bowl, combine well.

Add the chicken chunks and adobo seasoning to a large ziplock bag, move chicken around so it's covered well with seasoning.

Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Meanwhile, whisk together flour and garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper in a large bowl or casserole dish.

Remove chicken from ziplock bag, and drain excess marinade.

Dredge through the flour mixture and dust off any excess.

Heat 4 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or high-sided skillet. Fry chicken at 370°F until brown and crisp, about 8–10 minutes.

Drain on slices of white bread. Serve with lime wedges.
