This style of cooking chicken was supposedly from the South American regions, and there's a lot of versions regarding the authentic way of cooking it. But from what I understand, it is a battered or floured chicken deep fried to golden perfection. Oh, and the outer coating is really crisp and it has that sounding crunch.
What I love doing is that I soak the chicken pieces in salted milk for half an hour. It actually makes the chickens a lot tastier, and the meat juicer. Then I dredge in my flour-cornstarch mixture, and it turns out really good. It actually makes for a healthier (note: less sodium) alternative to those salty, MSG-filled processed "breading" or coating for chicken available in the grocery, and it can really satisfy everyone's craving for that crisp outer coating.
