Bone-in chicken pieces are marinated with spices and herbs in a mixture of beer and root beer, drained, fried to create a lovely crust then braised with chilies and pineapple in the strained marinade.
We like to double fry our chicken. Over medium heat to cook the meat through then over high heat to create a light and crispy crust. A glaze is optional but, in this case, you want to bathe the chicken in it.
Bone-in chicken, wedges of green papaya and chili leaves in gingered broth. That’s chicken tinola, Filipino comfort food par excellence. Serve as a soup and or main dish.
Seasoned chicken wings are dredged in starch, deep fried until crisp then tossed in a sauce made with garlic and salted duck egg yolk paste. Crispy Thai basil completes the dish.
