Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 medium-sized chicken, cut into small pieces (12–16 pieces)
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups frying oil

Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt. Coat with lemon juice, and let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
