Simple Spiced Fried Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1/4 pound of chicken (medium-sized pieces)
- 2 cloves garlic
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Spice Mix: In a mortar and pestle or a small food processor, grind the garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper together until you achieve a smooth paste.
- Marinate the Chicken: Thoroughly coat the chicken pieces with the garlic spice paste. Ensure that the chicken is well-coated for even flavor distribution. Cover the chicken and refrigerate it for about 2 to 3 hours. This step allows the spices to deeply penetrate the meat.
- Fry the Chicken: After marination, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Heat a pan over low heat and add a small amount of oil. Fry the chicken pieces gently, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a crispy, golden exterior.
- Serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this simple yet flavorful dish on its own or with your favorite sides.
This recipe, with its minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, is perfect for a quick yet delicious meal.
