Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry plantain rounds 2 minutes per side until golden, then remove and set aside for second fry.
Step 2
Pat chicken dry. Mix lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, and 2 tbsp oil in a bowl, then coat chicken on both sides.
Step 3
Sear chicken 5 minutes per side in the same skillet without moving—edges should look golden and meat firm when pressed.
Step 4
Push chicken to the side, add chorizo pieces, and cook 3 minutes until edges brown and fat renders slightly.
Step 5
Fry plantain rounds a second time, 1 minute per side until crispy and caramelized, then add back to skillet.
Step 6
Serve chicken, tostones, and chorizo hot with any pan drippings spooned over the top.
