ingredients
5 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed in a garlic press (or smashed with the side of a knife)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup sour orange juice (or half sweet orange juice and half lime juice)
2 whole chickens, cut up, skin on or off
1/2 large onion, sliced
1/2 cup oil to fry
directions
Combine the pressed garlic with salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin in a bowl. Mix well then slowly stir in the orange juice.
Place the chicken pieces in a glass dish. Top with the sliced onions. Pour the orange mixture evenly over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours or as long as overnight.
When ready to cook the chicken, drain and discard the marinade. Wipe the chicken dry with paper toweling.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken in the oil, about 20 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
Serve the Cuban fried chicken hot.
