Who doesn’t like fried chicken?? I think everyone does and I finally have a recipe here for you on how I made this delicious chicken pictured above there and it’s pretty easy.

Pictured above is the cleaned and parboiled chicken with the ingredients for the recipe. You can marinate your meat overnight (click the link to see how to clean and marinate chicken) but I don’t think it’s necessary as I didn’t have time to do that, I used it immediately and it was still very flavorful. As of lately when I make my meat I try my best not to add any liquid to the pot while cooking it, instead I just use the marinade and so far it’s been working great, turns out to be enough to get the job done (I did the same thing for my fried goat recipe). Not adding any water to cook the meat just ensures that all the flavors from the marinade stay in there and doesn’t get diluted by water.

This chicken pairs well with fried plantains, rice and beans etc etc. Just try it and let me know what you think, you’re gonna love it but yeah let me know what you think!!
