Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine chicken, rum, lemon juice, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, adobo seasoning, onion powder, black pepper, coriander, and sazon seasoning in a large bowl; stir. Cover and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat to about 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 3

Spread flour into the bottom of a shallow dish. Remove chicken from marinade to flour in the dish; discard marinade. Toss chicken pieces with flour until evenly coated.

Step 4

Fry coated chicken pieces in hot oil in small batches until no longer pink in the center and golden brown on the outside, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
