Method
For the chicken
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Add the juice of the sour orange, the crushed garlic (rub it well all over the meat) and the cumin.
- Leave it in the marinade for at least two hours before frying it.
- In a deep skillet, put the oil and, when it is warm, add the chicken.
- Keep the heat at medium temperature and let the chicken cook, turning it every so often so that it browns evenly.
- To check the doneness, pierce it and verify that no juice or blood comes out.
- When it is almost done, increase the heat and give it a burst of heat to finish browning and become crispy.
