Ingredients

Method

1
Pat the boneless chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into bite-sized chunks (approximately 1 to 1.5 inches).
2
Combine the all-purpose flour, oregano, ground black pepper, and salt in a shallow bowl, stirring well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
3
Toss the chicken chunks in the seasoned flour mixture until all pieces are fully coated, shaking off any excess.
4
Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (or until a small piece of chicken immediately sizzles upon contact).
5 minutes
5
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, carefully add the floured chicken pieces to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
8 minutes
6
Transfer the cooked chicharrón to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
