Chicken Cracklings (Chicharrones de Pollo)

INGREDIENTS:
1 3-1/2 pound chicken, cut in small pieces salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to taste 3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup golden rum juice of 3 lemons 1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons black pepper 1/4 cup corn oil


1 Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic. Marinate in the rum and lemon juice for 30 minutes. Drain. In a plastic bag, combine the flour with the salt and pepper and dredge the chicken pieces, shaking off the excess. Heat the oil in a large skillet until hot but not smoking and fry the chicken pieces, a few at a time, until all sides are golden brown. Serve at once.

Shredded Green Plantain Fritters (Aranitas de Platano)

6 tablespoons butter, melted 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon brandy (optional)
3 medium green plantains, peeled salt and black pepper to taste 3 tablespoons corn or vegetable oil

1 Combine 4 tablespoons of the butter with the garlic and brandy and set aside. Coarsely grate the plantains into a bowl and season with the salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in a skillet until it is hot but not smoking. Press 1/4 cup of the grated plantain at a time in your hands to form a small patty.
