Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg Chicken cut
  • 1-2 tsp Salt
  • 1-2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

*Adjust depending on your preference

    Jollibee Fried Chicken Wannabe Coating:

    • ½ cup Rice flour
    • ½ cup Cornstarch
    • ½ tbsp Five spice powder
    • ½ tbsp Garlic powder
    • ½ tbsp Onion powder
    • ½ tsp Salt
    • Cooking oil for frying

    Instructions
     

    • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
    • Let the chucks sit for at least 10 minutes.
    • Mix all the ingredients for coating on a large bowl. Make sure to combine them evenly.
    • Start coating the chicken one by one. Make sure that all surface of the chicken is covered, including the inner portions under the skin.
    • Shake off excess powder mixture from the chicken.
    • Heat the oil for frying.
    • When ready, fry the chicken under medium heat.

    In our case, we didn’t deep fry our chucks because it seems to be too excessive. Just make sure that at least half of chicken is covered by the oil.

    • Avoid overcrowding the pan with the chucks. Give them enough space to cook and breathe.
    • Drain as they cook.
    • Serve while hot.
