Never put a lot of breasts of chicken to fry at the same time, this causes the oil to cool. So 2 at a time is the best way, and this depends on the capacity of your frying pan.

  • Vinegar: it works by removing the strong smell that chicken has and softens the meat due to its acidity.
  • Chimichurri or fine herbs: They make the chicken tastier and can be replaced with a simple pinch of oregano.
  • Black pepper: freshly ground black pepper that gives the chicken a distinctive flavor and also adds a boost to the flavor due to its spiciness.
