Switch up your chicken nugget routine with this chicharron de pollo recipe!  Delightfully marinated chicken dredged in a deliciously seasoned flour mixture and fried to perfection.

What is the Best Thing to Fry Chicken In?

I like to use vegetable or canola oil. However, I have a few friends who prefer peanut oil. It’s honestly up to you and your taste preferences. 

Use other spices – If preferred, you can add more spices or use your own. It just won’t be a traditional version of this recipe if you do.
