  2. Mix the chicken marinade ingredients together and soak the chicken pieces in it.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours, preferably overnight so the chicken absorbs the marinade well.
    Timers: 180 min
  4. When frying, mix the dredging mixture ingredients and take each piece of chicken, coating it with this mixture while pressing by hand so it is well covered with the flour and spices.
  5. Then tap the piece with a plate so the coating forms the rippled texture we want at the end.
  6. After tapping, dip the piece in the water for a few seconds, then return it to the flour mixture.
  7. Wrap and press it until the ripples form, then fry immediately (do not leave to sit for long) in plenty of hot oil, turning until cooked and golden brown.
