The chicken is marinated in a wonderful spice mix then dredged through a flour mixture with spices, after which it’s fried to a crispy perfection. Squeeze a wedge of lime on your chicken when eating, close your eyes and you’ll feel like you’re on the beaches of Puerto Rico.
Place the chicken in a non-reactive container. Combine all the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken. Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and marinate for one hour in the fridge.
Using a programmable fryer, heat corn oil to 350 degrees F. While the oil heats up, combine the chicken coating ingredients in a zip top bag.
Coat each piece of chicken with the corn starch mixture. Fry the chicken in batches, until golden brown and crispy. This should take 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken pieces.
Drain the chicken on paper towels and serve immediately.
