Servings: persons

1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey to taste
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
Limes wedges and hot sauce on the side
3 tablespoons for dipping sauce-freshly squeezed lime juice-
3 tablespoons for dipping sauce-soy sauce
1 tablespoon for dipping sauce-agave syrup and honey

1
Prepare marinade, stirring together lime juice, rum, soy sauce, and agave or honey in a bowl until well mixed. Add the chicken to the marinade and let marinate for a minimum of 1 hour and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
2
Pour enough oil in a heavy thick bottomed pan so that it comes up the sides at least a half an inch. Heat oil on medium high until a little pinch of flour sizzles when you drop it in the pan, you now know the oil is hot enough to use.
3
While the oil is heating, whisk together the flour, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and transfer to a plate.
4
Fry the chicken in about 3 batches, about 3 minutes on each side, until deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. (If the chicken is browning too quickly, reduce the heat a bit). Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
5
Whisk together the dipping sauce and serve with the hot sauce and lime wedges on the side.
