Simple Life Matters

Chicken can be considered one of the staple food in Filipino households thus different and organic chicken cuisines invented in various provinces across the country. Fried Chicken is an all-occasions dish from Birthday Parties to Christmas, Fiesta, Weddings, Anniversaries and all other special occasions. It can be served plain or with chili for those who want it spicy. In our home, we usually marinate the chicken with salt (patis) and pepper and calamansi juice extracted from fresh fruits and we kept it in the fridge overnight to let the flavor settle on the chicken meat. KFC, Chowking and Mcdonald's I believe serve spicy fried chicken while I think Jollibee kept their only original flavored fried chicken.
