Fried Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 lb. chicken drumsticks
• 1 egg
• 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1-2 teaspoons minced onion
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon seasoning mix (e.g., Magic Sarap)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1-2 cups oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Place the chicken drumsticks in a large mixing bowl.
   • Add the minced garlic and onion, oyster sauce, salt, black pepper, seasoning mix, egg, and cornstarch.
   • Mix thoroughly until each piece of chicken is well-coated with the seasoning mixture.

2. Heat the Oil:

   • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
   • Ensure the oil is sufficiently hot before adding the chicken (around 350°F if using a thermometer).

3. Fry the Chicken:

   • Carefully lower the chicken pieces into the pot one at a time.
   • Ensure the oil almost completely submerges the chicken and bubbles gently during cooking.
   • Fry the chicken until it turns a beautiful golden brown and the skin crisps up perfectly. This could take anywhere from 15-20 minutes, depending on your oil temperature.

4. Cook in Batches:

   • Continue frying the chicken in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
   • Once done, remove the chicken and place it on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

5. Serve:

   • Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute.
   • Serve hot and enjoy your crispy, flavorful chicken drumsticks!
