ingredients
- 1 whole fryer chickens, cut up or 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 5 cloves garlic
- sea salt
- 3 small dried cayenne peppers (about 1/2 teaspoon, crushed pepper flakes)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin seed
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (about)
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- oil (for frying)
directions
- Using a mortar and pestle, mash garlic and salt until creamy.
- Add cayenne peppers and cumin seeds and continue to mash.
- Add paprika and mix.
- Add oil and mix, then add vinegar and mix again.
- Marinate chicken for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
- (I have made the recipe until this point and frozen the raw chicken-- when you thaw it, it will be even tastier than marinating in the fridge, after thawing, prepare as follows) Heat a small amount of oil over medium high heat.
- Fry chicken pieces until cooked through-- for bone-in, about 20 minutes or so, for boneless skinless breasts, about 15 minutes.
- May also be done on the grill.
