Recipe: Guatemala-Inspired Fried Chicken

Main Dishes - Chicken, Poultry
GUATEMALA-INSPIRED FRIED CHICKEN

1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
Juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, thoroughly crushed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
1 cup cake flour

Sprinkle the chicken with the lemon juice, then rub in the garlic and sprinkle on the cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Place in a bowl and refrigerate, covered, overnight.

WHEN READY TO COOK THE CHICKEN:
Heat about 5 inches of oil to 340 F in a wok or deep pot.

While the oil is heating, dip the chicken in the flour briefly, shaking off any excess flour.

Fry, turning once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side.

Remove the chicken pieces from the oil with tongs and drain them on paper towels. Eat immediately.

Servings: 6-8
