Ingredients | Hard Shell Chicken Tacos Recipe

½ cup vegetable oil

½ cup lemon juice

½ cup lime juice

½ cup orange juice

⅛ cup Worcestershire sauce, or more to taste

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces, or more to taste

½ head cabbage, shredded

3 limes, juiced, divided

2 avocados, peeled and pitted

salt and ground black pepper to taste

8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

1 bunch green onions, sliced

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

¼ cup sour cream, or to taste

¼ cup salsa, or to taste

Directions

Whisk vegetable oil, lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, Worcestershire, seasoned salt, garlic salt, and lemon-pepper seasoning together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 1 to 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and shred chicken with 2 forks; discard bones.

Place cabbage in a bowl and pour 1/3 of the lime juice over top; toss until cabbage is glossy.

Smash avocados in a bowl for guacamole. Mix in 1/4 of the remaining lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

Warm tortillas in a skillet over medium-low heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Layer tortillas with chicken, cabbage, green onions, cilantro, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa and drizzle with remaining lime juice.

Undiluted limeade concentrate can be used instead of lime juice if you like. You can use canola oil instead of vegetable oil.

You can also add cilantro, finely chopped tomato, and onion to guacamole as well.

You can grill the chicken instead of baking if you prefer.
