Pan-fried Chicken (Pritong Manok)
Chicken is one of the most flexible dish to cook at home. It is pretty low in fat, high in protein, and has a mild taste that effortlessly fortified as its meat absorb from the simplest salt, butter and herb blend to the byzantine cookery. Chicken takes less time to cook than pork and beef and is also more predictable than fish. Eating chicken is one of most human palate’s pleasure and is more favorable than other meats to those who has religious or cultural no-nos.
I favor the Pan-fried Chicken (Pritong Manok) for its simplicity and home-cooked style for deep-frying skin-on chicken with seasoned flour in a hot oil. To have successful Pan-Fried Chicken, make sure chicken should go strain from the flour to the hot oil. If flour sits,the breading will turn gummy. We ate Chicken Adobo last night and Pan-fried Chicken this time. I feel I can fly. I feel I can soar… flightless with this delightful Pan-fried Chicken recipe.

onez..this looks tasty..!! well, have a nice day and congratulations. It’s nice to hear that you and Royz will have another baby.
in a separate bowl, make a batter mixture of flour and ClubSoda. Dip the chicken in this mixture first and then coat it with Onez dry flour mixture. Fry the same. This recipe also applied to fish (boneless tilapia will do; bite size), squid rings and others.
