* 2 large Chicken breasts, chopped into thumb-sized pieces
* 1 tablespoon Lime juice
* ¼ teaspoon Salt for the Marinade
* 1 teaspoon Taco-mix for the Marinade
* 1 large Clove of Garlic, peeled and crushed
* 1 Egg, beaten
* 2 tablespoons fine Cornmeal
* 5 tablespoons Plain flour
* 1 tablespoon Taco-mix for the 'batter'
* Enough Olive oil to fill the base of a Wok by 1.3cm (1/2")
===Method===
* Heat the Olive oil in a Wok or Frying pan. Not too hot that it smokes.
* Add the Taco-mix (or your desired Spices) to a bowl containing the Plain flour and mix well.
* When you are ready to Fry the Chicken, add two tablespoons of Cornmeal to the Chicken pieces and shake really well to coat the chicken evenly.
* Beat the Egg and add to a bowl.
* Dip each pice of Chicken in the beaten Egg, then coat coat with the spicy Flour mix, then carefully add to the hot Oil. Do this in two batches so you don't overwhelm the Oil and kill the temperature.
* Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning often.
* Remove the cooked Chicken with a Slotted spoon and allow to drain on kitchen paper.
* Check the Chicken is properly cooked, though it should be fine as the pieces are very small and turning them ensures an even heat.
