Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Wash the chicken and cut it into random pieces. If you don't want to bother, buy pre-cut thighs or drumsticks.
Step 2
Make the first marinade: in warm water, add salt, black pepper (coarsely ground), thyme (dried is fine), garlic (quartered), allspice (coarsely ground), and coarsely chopped red onion. Mix well. Pour in ice-cold water. Submerge the chicken pieces. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Step 3
Make the second marinade: cayenne pepper, paprika, lemon pepper, granulated garlic, salt, and milk. Mix well. Submerge the pieces taken out of the first marinade. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for another 24 hours.
Step 4
Coat the chicken pieces in flour and fry them in hot vegetable oil. Place them in a colander to drain excess oil.
Step 5
Now, let's prepare the straws. Boil the potatoes in salted water, mash them, and add the egg.
Step 6
Add flour. It says '3 cups of flour,' but adjust based on the amount of mashed potatoes - the potato dough should not stick to your hands, as you will need to roll it out.
Step 7
Divide the dough into 3-4 parts, rolling each into a rectangle.
Step 8
Cut into strips (you can make them large or small), making a cut in the middle of each strip (not close to the ends). Thread the ends through the cut - one end from the top, the other from the bottom, to create a nice shape.
Step 9
Fry in hot oil on both sides. Place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Step 10
Prepare the pico vegetables. Essentially, this is our vegetable salad, just very finely chopped. I used a chopper, but it works well by hand too :)
Step 11
So, finely chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, and shred the onion. Dress with the juice of half a lime and half a lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I added a bit of garlic pepper and dill since I couldn't find mint at the market.
Step 12
That's it. Assemble your dish. You can grate some hard cheese over the straws if desired.
Step 13
Enjoy your meal!
