Chicharrones De Pollo (chicken Dominican-republic Style)

EdsGirlAngie's Note:

Fast and easy fried chicken strips with a little twist! Marinate chicken in a tasty lime and soy sauce-based marinade with plenty of garlic, then flour up and fry! Be traditional and serve with brown beans and rice, or dish up a fine fried potato product. Prep time includes marinating.

• Total Time: 4 hrs 40 mins
• Prep Time: 4 hrs 15 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

Marinade

• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 medium limes)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Chicken

• 1 1/4 lbs boneless chicken breasts, strips
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• vegetable oil, about 1 to 1/2 cups (for frying)

Directions:

1. Combine marinade ingredients in a plastic zipper bag.
2. Add chicken strips and marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
3. Combine flour, paprika, pepper and salt in another zipper bag.
4. Transfer chicken strips to flour mixture, coating evenly.
5. Heat oil over medium-high heat and fry chicken in batches of 4 strips (don't overcrowd; oil will cool down too much during cooking), taking about 4 minutes per side to brown outside and thoroughly cook insides.
6. When done, transfer chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels, and lightly sprinkle with salt.
7. Cook remaining batches of strips, keeping others warm in a low-temp oven.

I didn't love the flavor of these, but they were better with some Mojito. On the plus side my 2yo loved them and it's always good to have a recipe around that he will eat during his more picky times.
