Double Fried Chicken

I heard so much good reviews about the Bon Chon Fried Chicken, though I haven't tried it, I decided to make my own version of the said dish.  The double fried technique really makes the chicken crispier.  The chicken stays crispy for several hours even though it is coated with soy sauce glazing. Below is my version of the Double Fried Chicken.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo Chicken wings (I didn't discard any part of the wings)

Brine Solution:

1L water

3 Tbsp Salt (This is not the normal salt-to-water ration, I just want my chicken to have the extra taste)

Batter:

1 1/2 c of Flour

2 Tbsp Cornsatrch

1/2 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Black pepper

1/2 tsp Paprika

water

Glazing:
2 Tbsp Soy sauce (I used kikkoman)
1 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Brown sugar
1 Tsp Crushed ginger
1 Tsp Crushed garlic
Black pepper to taste
water

Procedure:
1. Marinate the wings in the brine solution for 4 hrs in the fridge.
2. Pat dry the chicken wings.
3. Combine the dry ingredients of the batter mixture.
4. Dredge the chicken wing into the dry batter mixture until coated.
5. After all the chicken were dredge into the dry batter, add enough water into the remaining dry batter mixture until the batter is of desired consistency (I like mine a little thinner).
6. Dredge again the chicken into the wet batter.
7. Heat oil up to 350 deg F, oil must be at least 2 inches deep.
8. Deep fry the wings for 5 minutes and remove excess oil and fried batter.  Cool for 5 minutes. (Don't over crowd the pan because this will relatively decrease the oil temperature, you may fry the chicken in to two batches)
9. Reheat oil to 375 and re-fry the chicken until golden brown.
10. In a small sauce pan, combine and heat the ingredients for the glazing except for black pepper and water.
11. Add water until you find the enough saltiness you want.  Add black pepper to taste.
12. Combine the chicken and glazing in a bowl. Cover and shake until the wings are evenly coated.

Enjoy.

A Desperation for Lechon Paksiw

Are you craving for lechon paksiw but you don't have any left over lechon?  Hmmm!  Why not make your own lechon and make it a lechon paksiw.

This what happened to me this afternoon.  We don't have any dinner for tonight and my mom told me we had pork in the fridge.  My initial dish in mind was lechon kawali but i think I want something new for dinner.  What dish is similar to lechon kawali, well I think its lechon paksiw.

Mixture A:

• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 Tbsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 laurel leaf
• 1/2 kg pork, (I used liempo)

Mixture B:

• 5 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tsp black pepper (I used semi-crushed black pepper)
• 3/4c lechon sauce (Mang Tomas)
• 1/4c white vinegar
• 1/4c pork broth
• 1/2c water

Procedure:

1. Boil together Mixture A for 30 minutes.  Save 1/4 of the broth.
2. Cool the boiled pork for at least 10 minutes and rub it with oil.  Rub pork fats with rock salt.
3. Grill inside the oven until the fat is crisp. (My initial plan is o deep fry it but I find using too much oil quite expensive.)

 Oops!  I think I over grilled it.  Hehe!

     4.   Chopped the grilled meat into desired size.
     5.   Combine the grilled meat with mixture B and simmer until the pork is tender, about 30-40minutes.

Enjoy!

Chewy Cocoa Brownies

I doing nothing today so better get my hands dirty, off to the kitchen.  I'm looking for a chewy brownie recipe and came across this recipe.  I tried it and result if decent enough.

Oh! I also did some tweaking and instead of using the usual cups measurement I convert it into weight basis.  Anyway you can check out the link above for the original recipe.  The original recipe calls for 9" x 13" baking pan but I find it too thin when I made it the first time so I used 10" square pan.

Ingredients:

230g   White Sugar (about 1/2c plus 2/3c, do the math)
100g    Brown Sugar (the original recipe uses 1 2/3c or 330g white sugar)
3/4c     Butter (1 1/2 stick), melted
2Tbsp  Water
2pcs     Eggs
2tsp      Vanilla
175g     All purpose flour (1 1/3c)
75g       Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (3/4c)
1/2tsp    Baking Powder
1/4tsp    Salt
100g      Cashew (you may also use chocolate chips, nuts, etc.)

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
2. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa powder.
3. Beat together sugar, water and melted butter.
4. Add egg one at a time and mix until egg is well incorporated.
5. Add the vanila.
6. Add the flour mixture and mix using the spatula.  Mix in the nuts.  Do not over mix the mixture.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes (25 minutes works for me).
8. Take out from the oven and cool for 15 minutes in the pan.  Remove form the pan and cool completely.

Enjoy!

• 1 (14oz) can condense milk (Alaska)

• 1 tsp vanilla (I used almond extract)

Procedure:

2. Beat eggs, vanilla and condense milk until well incorporated.
3. Sift cake flour and add to the milk-butter mixture.
4. Add the dessicated coconut and mix well.
5. Optional: Chill the mixture up to 2 hours.
6. Scoop 1 tablespoon or use mini ice cream scooper and place into the baking pan lined with baking paper.  (OR use mini muffin pan lined with paper cups - 1oz. up to 3/4 full)
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown (20 minutes works for me).
8. Dip into melted chocolate of your choice and chill.

Notes:

1. Makes 4 dozens.
2. I actually used 100g of chocolate per dozen of macaroons.
3. Tips: you may add nuts into the batter or put it as toppings to the chocolate coating.
4. Also, you may try using the freshly grated coconut, i think it'll be chewier.
