Serves 2 to 3.

Ingredients:

• one 3-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
• juice of 1 lemon
• 3 cloves garlic, thoroughly crushed
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• vegetable oil for deep-frying
• 1 cup cake flour

Method:

• Sprinkle the chicken with the lemon juice, then rub in the garlic and sprinkle on the cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Place in a bowl and refrigerate, covered, overnight.
• When ready to cook the chicken, heat about 5 inches of oil to 340-degree in a wok or deep pot.
• While the oil is heating, dip the chicken in the flour briefly, shaking off any excess flour.
• Fry, turning once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken pieces from the oil with tongs and drain them on paper towels. Eat immediately.
