1

Prepare 2 whole chickens by cutting them into 10 pieces and removing excess fat while keeping the skin.

2

Place the chicken pieces in a container and add enough salt and vinegar to wash the chicken, letting it rest to remove impurities.

3

After resting, wash and rinse the chicken pieces thoroughly.

4

Prepare the seasoning by mixing olive oil, sofrito, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, ginger powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

5

Massage the seasoning into the chicken pieces thoroughly.

6

Prepare the batter for coating by mixing 2 eggs with a little water, salt, and pepper.

7

Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat with flour, removing excess flour.

8

Heat a pot or a deep pan with plenty of oil until hot.

9

Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring they have enough space to fry without sticking together, for about 18 minutes at 360 degrees Fahrenheit.

10

Check if the chicken is ready by seeing if it floats after about 17-18 minutes of frying; if it does, it's ready to be removed from the oil.

11

Drain the fried chicken pieces well and repeat the frying process with any remaining pieces.
