Ecuadorian Chicken Fry
Ecuadorian Chicken Fry
Ecuadorian Chicken Fry typically consists of tender chicken pieces seasoned with a mixture of herbs and spices, then coated in a crispy flour or cornmeal batter before being deep-fried to golden perfection.
The seasoning for Ecuadorian Chicken Fry often includes ingredients like garlic, cumin, paprika, and oregano, which give it a flavorful and aromatic profile.
This dish is often served with traditional Ecuadorian sides such as rice, beans, plantains, or a fresh salad.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken pieces (such as drumsticks, thighs, or breast)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and chili powder (if using). Mix well to combine the seasonings.
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken piece into the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep.
- Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken in batches if necessary. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken pieces.
- Serve the Ecuadorian Chicken Fry hot with your choice of traditional Ecuadorian sides, such as rice, beans, plantains, or a fresh salad.
