Filipino Fried Chicken Recipe
During regular days and busy days as well, most of us do not bother to plan what to cook for dinner. After long hours of work, we just head to our favorite drive thru and get our favorite piece of meal. It can be a regular routine for some while others would only buy cooked food when nothing edible is left in the kitchen. I’m sure that no one would go out to buy dinner if there were only left over food in the house or some easy- to- cook food is around.

Fried Chicken seems to be a universal food. Each country has unique fried chicken recipes that can easily be attributed to them. Same thing goes to the Philippines; we have many Filipino Fried Chicken Recipe tailored to our preference. This recipe is one of them.
When we say Fried Chicken, the first thing that comes into mind are breaded deep fried chicken like the ones sold in KFC, Popeye’s, Jollibee, and the Chicken Mcdo. These kinds of fried chicken might represent the common definition of the term. However, there are several more varieties that go by the same name “Fried Chicken” — like this Filipino Fried Chicken Recipe for example.
I like this Filipino Fried Chicken Recipe because it is so easy to prepare. In fact, I usually prepare this when I can’t think of anything else to cook for lunch. What I usually do is pre-marinate the chicken a few days before and freeze them until needed. When it is time to cook, I thaw it by soaking the sealed bag in water or defrost it in the microwave oven, when I’m in a hurry.
