"Some recipes say this is a Dominican recipe and others say Cuban, but it doesn't really matter to me because these deep fried chicken pieces with loads of flavor are not to be missed! I really love the blend of flavors and texture of this chicken... At the top of the list of my favorites as a matter of fact! I made and served it with my recipe for #recipe2228 over the top. They went wonderfully together. Kind of like General Tsou's Chicken with added flavor of Rum and lime... It was Incredibly DELICIOUS! Great served with Mexican Rice, rice, pilaf or any other grain. Originally posted by By KlynnPadilla at another site, it is a recipe from Gourmet Sept 2007. PLEASE NOTE: Preparation Time includes marinating time."

These chicharrones were very well enjoyed by my family and I. The marinate really does wake up these babies and gives them a tasty taste flavor. I marinated them for about 30-35 minutes and was very careful as to not let them marinate longer. If so the lime juice will “cook” the meat and it may turn out rubbery. They came out perfect! I served them as suggested with “Linda's Thai Sweet Chili Sauce for Dipping (Egg Rolls, Sushi)”. My kids really enjoyed these and I am sure to make these again. Thank you LindasBusyKitchen for sharing!
