Scale
- 4 each Chicken Thighs and Legs
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 tbsp Adobo ((and a little extra to season the chicken))
- 1 1/2 tsp Pepper ((and a little extra to season the chicken))
- 1 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes ((and a little extra to season the chicken))
- 2 packets Sazon ((and a little extra to season the chicken))
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder ((and a little extra to season the chicken))
- 2 tsp Rosemary ((and a little extra to season the chicken))
- Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- Clean and trim chicken pieces of any excess fat.
- In a plastic grocery bag, mix together flour, adobo, pepper, red pepper flakes, sazon, garlic powder, and rosemary.
- Season chicken with an additional hint of all of these seasonings.
- Add chicken into the flour mixture, two pieces at a time, close the bag off with your hand and shake up the bag to coat the chicken with the flour mixture. Shake of excess flour and set on a cooling rack. After you have breaded all of your chicken pieces, allow to rest on the rack for 10 minutes.
- Heat up a cast iron skillet (or whatever frying pan you have) filled halfway with vegetable oil.
- Take your chicken after it has rested (it should feel a little sticky) and add it back into your bag with the remaining flour. Shake it up and shake off the excess flour again and set back on your cooling rack.
- By now, your oil should have heated up enough (to test, try to hold your hand over the oil. if you cant stand the heat for less than 5 seconds, you’re good to go). Add four of your chicken piece into the skillet and allow to cook for 5-7 minutes. (Do not overcrowd the pan. There should be some space between your chicken pieces.)
- You will start to see the edges of your chicken turning a golden brown. Flip your chicken over and allow to cook for an additional 7 minutes. Remove from oil and place on a cooling rack to rest for 5-10 minutes. (This helps the bottom of the chicken stay crispy, but you can also place the chicken onto a plate lined with paper towel to soak up the excess oil if you don’t own a cooling rack.)
