Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 ½ kg chicken, cut into 16 pieces
  • 4 tbsp brown rum
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp lime juice (or lemon)
  • ½ liter oil (peanut oil)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Black pepper, freshly ground
  • 100 g flour

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Heat the rum and light it, swirling it in the pan until the flame goes out on its own. Add the soy sauce and lime juice. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and marinate for 4 hours, turning them frequently. Preheat the oven to low to keep warm. Place a paper towel on a baking sheet to remove the grease. Heat the fat in a heavy skillet (I use a cast iron wok). Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, and coat in flour. Shake off any excess flour and fry the pieces in batches until nicely browned. Let them drain on the paper towels in the oven. Instead of rice, I had plain wheat flour today.
