1

Start by measuring 2 cups of milk (16 ounces).

2

Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the milk, causing it to curdle and turn sour.

3

Add chili to taste into the milk mixture.

4

Season the milk mixture with black pepper and salt to taste.

5

Let the chicken marinate in the milk mixture for 24 hours or overnight for best results.

6

Prepare the chicken by coating it in a mixture of flour, garlic salt, and additional seasonings for flavor.

7

Heat oil in a deep fryer until it reaches a high temperature.

8

Carefully place the marinated chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying for about 20 minutes until cooked through.

9

Check the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of chicken into it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

10

Ensure the chicken is fully submerged in the oil for even cooking.

11

Prepare the potatoes by cutting them and frying them in the same oil after the chicken is done, ensuring to maintain the oil temperature.

12

Place paper towels in a container to absorb excess oil from the fried potatoes.
