Max’s style Fried Chicken

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Max’s style Fried Chicken is a copycat recipe of the popular and delicious Max Fried Chicken dish served by Max’s Restaurant. It is crispy on the outside, while tender and juicy in the inside. This fried chicken version is also very flavorful. I think that this is worthy enough to be the best copycat recipe. Your opinion matters too and it will be great if you can try this recipe later so that you can see for yourself.

max fried chicken

I am using Cornish game hen for this recipe. This is smaller compared to regular chicken. So, if you are using regular chicken, make sure to add more cooking time for the chicken to be cooked correctly. The first procedure that I did was to steam the chicken in a mixture of herbs and seasonings. This makes the chicken tender while infusing the flavor and aroma of the herbs. Once our Max Fried Chicken has been steamed, we let is stand for about 10 minutes to drain excess liquid before deep frying. This will give you a nice tasting fried chicken that is juicy in the inside and crisp in the outside.

This Fried Chicken dish is served with fried kamote (sweet potato) and best eaten with Jufran banana ketchup or Worcestershire sauce. To make your dining experience more realistic, you can serve Lumpiang Sariwa and Pancit Canton along with it.

Try this Max Fried Chicken recipe. and let me know what you think.

    Nice website I came across through YOUTUBE.. thank you for your hard work to show the rest how Filipino cooking is being done. Somehow your versions are very close to the original recipies.

    Only one recommendation but not a big deal: you can lose the music backround. its not really necessary to have it while you are talking at the same time.. its kind of annoying to tell you the truth.. just listening to your voice is just fine.

    Thank you again..

    Share lang po ako, I got a tip from a friend who work in a restaurant before, they used to boil the chicken in real pork broth. Once cooked, transfer the whole chicken in a large pot full of ice cold water(this will make the skin tight thus giving it a nice form). Let it soak for 5 minutes then remove from the pot and drain, rub a bit of canola oil on the skin with the salt and pepper rub mentioned above. Let it cool down, you can leave this overnight inside the fridge then fry as directed. If you want a healthier alternative, you can bake it for 30 minutes-1 hour 350C then broiling it on Low temp until skin is brown and crisp.

    Just thought I’d share!
