  • When ready to fry, remove chicken from fridge and allow to reach room temperature.
  • Prepare deep fryer or skillet for frying. Fry the chicken at 375 degrees F until skin is brown and crisp, 5-6 minutes.
  • Remove and drain on a paper lined plate or wired baking rack.
  • Put the chicken in a large bowl and toss in the vinaigrette.
  • Serve with fresh cilantro or parsley

Make the Vinaigrette

  • Mix all ingredients in a mix bowl. Keep refrigerated in a jar until ready for usage.
