Max's Fried Chicken Imitation

Max's Restaurant has the best fried chicken in the Philippines. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the Philippines. They have franchises in California, Hawaii and a recently opened restaurant in New Jersey. And I just read somewhere that they will also open on in Toronto. Come on, now. How about one in Chicago?

A little history on this very successful restaurant: "Max's Restaurant's beginnings started in 1945, after World War II. Maximo Gimenez, a Stanford - educated teacher, befriended the American occupation troops stationed at Quezon City. Because of this friendship, the soldiers regularly visited Maximo's nearby home for a drink or two. Later on, the troops insisted that they pay for their drinks. This prompted Maximo to open a cafá where the troops could enjoy food and drinks." (http://www.maxschicken.com)
Here's a picture of what the chicken looks like:


So, I went online and searched for different types of recipe on how to imitate this chicken. I found a really good one online with a video tutorial. Gathered the ingredients. We have lots of chickens in the house right now coz my mom bought it on SALE. Made two of these chickens for dinner tonight. It took a while for it to finish (about 1 1/2 hours), coz I had to fry them separately and one at a time. Here's how it turned out:




It was so yummy. The skin was so tasty and crispy.
Sarap to the bones!
Not exactly like the Max's Fried Chicken (of course that will be really hard to copy perfectly).
