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.

Tips:

Use a good quality chicken: Free-range or organic chicken is best, as it will have a better flavor and texture.
Marinate the chicken overnight: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
Use a combination of wet and dry ingredients in the marinade: This will help to create a flavorful and crispy crust on the chicken.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken: This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
Fry the chicken in batches: This will help to ensure that all of the chicken is cooked evenly.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the chicken to retain its juices and make it more tender. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
