An absolute favorite!!! When I was younger, I couldn't live a day without begging my lola (grandma) to make this all the time. Basically it's crispy fried chicken adobo. This is the only way I do fried chicken at home and It's always on my weekly menu.

Use a combination of cornstarch and all-purpose flour to coat the chicken. This creates a crispy outer layer while keeping the meat tender and moist.

Serve the fried chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or gravy.
