Take a whole chicken weighing at least 2 kilograms. Divide it into portions, wash them and dry with paper towels. Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a hot pan and fry as many chicken parts on it as fit. It is necessary to fry over medium heat for about 10 minutes, constantly turning the pieces so that they are fried as evenly as possible. Then add a little more oil and fry the next portion. Put the finished chicken on napkins to allow excess fat to drain.
