KITCHEN MISADVENTURE SERIES – CHIX N CHIPS

You may have noticed my penchant for cooking fried chicken …many times in the food blog portion of this blog, I have featured different methods of cooking fried chicken – some of them were OK but sad to say I have not found the perfect method…where the chicken is crispy on the outside and still juicy and tasty on the inside…and so my quest continues. This time around, I am using another recipe from mgalutonidennis.blogspot.com. (check out his site for the complete recipe). By way of a background, the term chicken and chips is popular fare in England and it could mean chicken that is either fried, roasted or barbecued paired with fried potatoes – may be sliced thinly like mojo chips or julienned like fries. The main difference in this recipe is that unlike in the others where the chicken is marinated overnight then fried the next day, this time around it is boiled in water and allowed to cool first before deep-frying in hot oil. While the chicken cools, you may fry first the potatoes. Then, the chicken is fried twice to make it crispy…and was it indeed? Yes! It was quite tasty too…just too bad that I cooked this in the morning and we had this chicken for our lunch so it was not as crisp anymore unlike the one that my kids had for breakfast…maybe next time I will try to cook this for lunch or dinner during weekends at home.
