Peel 2 cloves of garlic and mash them into a paste with a little salt.

In a small bowl, mix the mashed garlic with mayonnaise and ketchup to create the dipping sauce, known as magic ketchup.

Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces using kitchen scissors, trimming off any unwanted fat.

Season the chicken with oregano, black pepper, adobo seasoning, onion powder, and parsley, mixing well.

Crack and whisk 1 egg in a separate container, then pour it over the seasoned chicken and massage it in.

Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of flour to the chicken, mixing until evenly coated.

Let the seasoned chicken rest in the refrigerator while preparing to fry.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles when chicken is added.

Fry the chicken in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels, then serve with the magic ketchup.
