Ingredients

  • Marinade
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 medium limes)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Chicken
  • 1 1/4 lbs boneless chicken breasts, strips
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • vegetable oil, about 1 to 1/2 cups (for frying)

Method

  • Combine marinade ingredients in a plastic zipper bag.
  • Add chicken strips and marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  • Combine flour, paprika, pepper and salt in another zipper bag.
  • Transfer chicken strips to flour mixture, coating evenly.
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat and fry chicken in batches of 4 strips (don't overcrowd; oil will cool down too much during cooking), taking about 4 minutes per side to brown outside and thoroughly cook insides.
  • When done, transfer chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels, and lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • Cook remaining batches of strips, keeping others warm in a low-temp oven.
