Street Chicken recipe

A few people wanted the recipe for the Street Chicken from this post, so here you go! This is a recipe that needs to marinate, so make sure you plan for that...

6-8 chicken pieces, such as breast, thighs or wings
3-4 shallots, grated
3-4 garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 pint, or just under 2 cups of beer (we used James Page)
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
juice of 2-3 limes
oil for deep-frying
salt and ground black pepper

1. Put the chicken pieces in a shallow dish or wide bowl. In a small bowl, add the grated shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper and mix together. Rub the mixture all over the chicken pieces.
2. In another bowl or jug, combine the beer, soy sauce and lime juice and pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover the dish with clear film (plastic wrap) and put in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
3. In a wok or deep pan, heat enough oil for deep-frying. Fry the chicken in batches until it is rich brown in color and crispy on the outside**. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with cooked rice and salad.

**We found that we had to bake the chicken after we deep fried it. So we baked it for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees in the oven to ensure it was done.

Let me know if you make it, and what you think! We found that the meat was super tender, and even think we may make wingies with this recipe in the future for parties and stuff. Enjoy!!
