Max’s Style Fried Chicken

June 6, 2018 by Manny 6 Comments

This fried chicken recipe is a Max’s restaurant style fried chicken. I do hope this copycat recipe will taste as good as the original fried chicken. I just wonder why this simple fried chicken have captured the palate of most Pinoys because there are lots of fried chicken businesses sprouting everywhere. The chicken is just simply fried without any breading or batter so it might be the taste and how it is cooked. In cooking whole fried chicken, I always fry it without precooking it (like boiling or steaming) and I rub it with salt and pepper, fish sauce and some lime juice. Because I like the chicken moist inside when fried unlike boiling it first which will make the chicken meat dry and rubbery. But the downside is, the skin is usually burned because of the longer frying time. There are more advantages of boiling the chicken before frying: it shortens the cooking time in frying, add flavor to the meat since you can add seasonings on the boiling liquid and tenderizes the meat. So I think that is the secret of Max’s fried chicken.
