Domingo Chavez

Domingo "Ding" Chavez is a fictional character created by American author Tom Clancy who appears in many of his novels and video games.

Background

Domingo "Ding" Chavez is a Rainbow operative of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six universe. Born in Los Angeles, California, on January 12, 1968, grows up in a rough neighborhood, and joins a gang as a teenager. After the death of a friend at the hands of a rival gang, however, he joins the U.S. Army to escape street life. Domingo is first recruited to be a member of a secret CIA-run anti-drug operation in Colombia in Clear and Present Danger, at the time a Staff Sergeant (E-6) in the Army and is 26 years old. He first meets John Clark during the events of this novel and works with him thereon. He has at least two advanced degrees and is fluent in English, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Persian. He marries John Clark's daughter, Patricia, and they name their child John Conor Chavez. In "Debt of Honor" he, along with Clark, rescue a Japanese politician and former prime minister. Soon after the events in the Japanese conflict, Domingo works again with John Clark in implementing "Plan Blue" (recruitment of law enforcement officers as intelligence officers) during Executive Orders. Clark and Chavez lead multiple operations for President Ryan in this novel, some of them inside Iran. He is later recruited into and becomes team leader (with the rank of simulated major) in the multinational counter-terrorist organization known as Rainbow in Rainbow Six. Together they defeat several terrorist groups and prevented a bioterrorism plague. He is later promoted to Director of Rainbow also referred to as "Six" (after the events of Rainbow Six: Critical Hour) a position formerly held by his father-in-law, John Clark.

Fried chicken

Fried chicken (also referred to as Southern fried chicken) is a dish consisting of chicken pieces usually from broiler chickens which have been floured or battered and then pan-fried, deep fried, or pressure fried. The breading adds a crisp coating or crust to the exterior. What separates fried chicken from other fried forms of chicken is that generally the chicken is cut at the joints and the bones and skin are left intact. Crisp well-seasoned skin, rendered of excess fat, is a hallmark of well made fried chicken.

Preparation

Generally, chickens are not fried whole; instead, the chicken is divided into its constituent pieces. The two white meat sections are the breast and the wing from the front of the chicken, while the dark meat sections are the thigh and leg or "drumstick", are from the rear of the chicken. These pieces are usually subdivided into the wings, the breasts (the wishbone is often cut out first in home cooking), the legs, and the thighs. The ribs are sometimes left on the breast, but commercially they and the back are usually discarded. To prepare the chicken pieces for frying, they are dredged in flour or a similar dry substance (possibly following marination or dipping in milk or buttermilk) to coat the meat and to develop a crust. Seasonings such as salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or ranch dressing mix can be mixed in with the flour. As the pieces of chicken cook, some of the moisture that exudes from the chicken is absorbed by the coating of flour and browns along with the flour, creating a flavorful crust. Traditionally, lard is used to fry the chicken, but corn oil, peanut oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil are also frequently used. The flavor of olive oil is generally considered too strong to be used for traditional fried chicken, and its low smoke point makes it unsuitable for use.
