Method

Mix the tequila, lime juice, chopped chilli, beer, and garlic together in a large bowl.

Score the chicken legs, coat them in the marinade, and refrigerate for two hours.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan until it reaches frying temperature.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat each piece dry.

Coat the chicken in seasoned flour and deep-fry for 15 minutes until cooked through.

Drain the cooked chicken legs on kitchen paper using a slotted spoon.

Combine all the guacamole ingredients in a clean bowl and mix well.

Combine all the pico de gallo ingredients in a separate clean bowl and mix well.

Serve the chicken legs in a large bowl with the guacamole and salsa on the side.
