Steps:

• In a large nonreactive mixing bowl or plastic zip-top bag, combine lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic.

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a separate mixing bowl or plastic zip-top bag, combine the flour, paprika, pepper, and salt and mix well.

• Coat the marinated chicken well with the seasoned flour mixture.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the vegetable oil for frying into a deep-sided frying pan, or use a deep fryer if you have one. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 360 F (182 C).
• Don't overheat or under-heat the oil. You want the chicken to start cooking when you place it in the oil, but not spatter hot oil.
• Don't crowd the pan with the chicken. Fry it in batches until golden brown outside and completely cooked inside (about 2 minutes per side). The chicken should not be pink in the middle. The Food and Drug Administration recommends 165 F (74 C).
• Place chicken on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the oil. Keep the chicken warm until you are ready to serve it.
