After 30 minutes, we remove our chicken from the refrigerator and we are going to coat each of the pieces in the cornstarch, then, in a frying pan with plenty of vegetable oil and medium high temperature, we are going to fry them for 7 minutes (it is important to add the chicken in batches so that they do not pile up and cook perfectly).
