These are chicken legs fried to a crispy, golden perfection, with less oil and no flour at all. The taste is very similar to that famous fried chicken of Max's Restaurant, a well loved dining establishment in the Philippines.
You will need:
12 chicken legs or drumsticks (you can use any part of the chicken with bones, which are tastier)
2 tbsp salt
3 tbsp ground pepper
1/2 cup canola or cooking oil
water
You will do:
Boil water in a pot, enough to cover the chicken legs. Put salt, about 1 tbsp, just enough for the chicken to have that salt taste. Place chicken and boil for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain on paper towel. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt, and half of pepper all over.
Put cooking oil in hot pan, and if ready, fry half of the chickens. Turn sides until slightly brown, about 3-4 mins each side. Do the same with the remaining chickens. Turn off heat. Drain the poultry on paper towel again, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt and all of the pepper.
Heat oil and fry in the same pan, this time longer, about 8 mins per side, or until golden brown and skin looks crispy.
Serve over hot rice or with mashed potato and savor the crunch! Yum!
