Crispy chicken thighs is a traditional recipe that has been cherished in many Latin American countries for generations. Its origin dates back to European influence on local cuisine, where fried chicken was transformed into a delicious variant with spices and preparation techniques adapted to each region. In different Latin American countries, this dish is known by names such as "pollo apanado" in Colombia, "pollo empanizado" in Mexico, and "pollo crocante" in Argentina. Each one adds its own special touch, but the essence of a chicken thigh that is tender on the inside and crispy on the outside is a common denominator that everyone loves.
This dish is ideal for family gatherings or for a quick meal that doesn't sacrifice flavor or texture. Furthermore, its simple preparation allows anyone to enjoy juicy chicken with a perfectly crispy outer layer, thanks to a mixture of spices and breadcrumbs that enhances its flavor.
