Prep Time

Cook Time

Cooking time for this dish is around 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Bowl
  • Tongs
  • Plate

Method

  1. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with adobo, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the flour and cornstarch. Coat each piece of chicken with the flour mixture and shake off any excess.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
  4. Using tongs, transfer the chicken pieces onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
  5. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

It's important to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. You can also marinate it overnight for even better flavor. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken is cooked through before serving.
