Pretty tasty if you like jalapenos! I like to make this dish for picnics or potluck dinners and serve cold or room temperature. The cook time listed depends on how much chicken you have and how hot your oil is. I put 30 minutes because that is about how long it takes me.

  • For a more flavorful dish, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
  • If you don't have jalapenos, you can use other types of chili peppers, such as serrano peppers or cayenne pepper.
  • If you want a spicier dish, add more jalapenos or chili peppers to the recipe.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
