1. Boiling
- Combine onion, lime juice, parsley, half the salt, half the oregano, crushed garlic, and chicken in a pot. Pour enough water to cover the chicken.Boil the chicken over medium heat.When the chicken is cooked through but firm (about 15 mins after it breaks the boil) remove from the heat. Remove the chicken from the liquid, and save the broth for another dish.
2. Seasoning
- Combine the flour with the remaining salt and oregano, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk to mix. Coat the chicken pieces with the flour mix, shake off excess.
