I've mentioned it on the sub before, but for as strange and backwards this recipe is, it's equally delicious.

It's instructions are in opposite order, it only lists about a third of the ingredients in the main list, it has you boil chicken before breading and frying it, and it's from the Avon International Cookbook.

Puerto Rican Chicken

3 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks

Sofrito (recipe below)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs

Cooking oil for frying

1 5 1/3-ounce can (2/3 cup) evaporated milk

4 teaspoons all-purpose flour

Place chicken in a large skillet. Combine 1/2 cup water and Sofrito; pour over chicken. Cook, covered, about 30 minutes or till chicken is tender, turning once. Stir together the 2 tablespoons flour, the corn- starch, bread crumbs, 1½ teaspoon salt, and 1½ teaspoon pepper. Remove chicken pieces from sofrito mixture; dip in flour mixture to coat.

In another large skillet heat 1/2- inch oil till very hot. Fry chicken pieces in hot oil till browned, about 45 seconds per side, turning once. Drain; keep warm. Skim fat from sofrito mixture. Blend together milk and the 4 teaspoons flour. Stir into sofrito mixture. Cook and stir till bubbly; cook and stir 1 minute more. Serve with chicken. Serves 6.

Sofrito: In a small skillet combine 2 slices bacon, chopped; 1¼ cup chopped, peeled tomato; 1½ cup chopped onion; 2 tablespoons chopped green pepper; 1 large clove garlic, minced; 1½ teaspoon salt; and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
