Ingredients:

1 1/2 kg fresh chicken, dressed and sliced into serving pieces
1 tsp ground black pepper
6 tbsp patis (fish sauce)

1 1/2 cups pork lard or vegetable oil (pork lard will make the chicken tastier)

How to cook:

1. Wash and clear the chicken. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Season the chicken with black pepper, making sure to put some under the loose skin of the chicken.
3. In a bowl, mix the patis and the calamansi juice. Marinate the chicken in this mixture, skin inside down, for 1-2hours, turning over the chicken at regular intervals.
4. In a deep wok or sauce pan, heat the oil to high heat. Carefully put in 3-4pieces of chicken and lower heat. Deep fry the chicken until golden brown. Repeat with remaining chicken.
5. If desired, serve with ketchup and hot sauce.

Fried Chicken version 5

Ingredients:

1 lbs. chicken, cut into serving pieces
flour for dredging
oil for frying

Marinade:

3 tablespoons soy sauce
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper to taste

How to cook:

Blend marinade well and combine with the chicken pieces. It’s best to marinate for 4 hours in the refrigerator. (I do this very quickly, i think 30minutes only, hehe) Stir meat occasionally to distribute marinade evenly.

Roll chicken pieces in flour. My technique was to put the flour on a zip loc bag or any small food plastic. Put chicken one at a time and shake.

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, pan-fry chicken pieces in a little oil for 8-10 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and browned on both sides. Drain on paper towel. Serve immediately.
