CRISPY CHICKEN TACOS



Crispy Chicken Tacos image

For an a-maize-ing upgrade, this easy dinner recipe has you quickly fry soft corn tortillas in hot oil just until their edges are crisp. This turns them into a crispy handheld treat filled with a hearty mix of shredded chicken thighs and a quick homemade tomato salsa.

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
1 jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Vegetable oil, for frying
12 small (6-inch) corn tortillas
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. In a shallow baking dish, season chicken with salt and pepper; roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest parts (not touching bones) registers 160°, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove skins and bones (reserving skins); chop meat into bite-size pieces. Toss tomatoes with onion, jalapeño, and lime juice; season with salt.
  • Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a small skillet over medium until shimmering. One at a time, fry tortillas until golden, about 15 to 20 seconds a side. (They should be crisp around the edges but still pliable.) Transfer to paper towels; season with salt.
  • Fry reserved skins in oil, a few pieces at a time, until golden, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to paper towels (they will continue to crisp). Once cool, roughly chop into small cracklings. Fill tortillas with chicken, cracklings, pico de gallo, and lettuce; fold and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the chicken until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
  • For extra crispy chicken, double-coat the chicken in the breading mixture.
  • To make the tacos ahead of time, cook the chicken and assemble the tacos, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, reheat the tacos in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Crispy Chicken Mini Tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
