Butter-fried chicken with basil
Sometimes, getting disappointed with restaurant food makes me a little more imaginative than usual. Like that time when PinoyBlog had its Christmas party at Cabalen restaurant and the food was just awful. The following day, I came up with a brand new recipe for sinangag.
Last Wednesday evening, I was out with a girl friend, my kids and hers. We were going to see Samara, The Ring 2 (never mind the movie, it was so bad I wouldn’t waste a paragraph describing just how bad) and we thought we’d have dinner before and not after the movie. So we went to this Popeye Chicken place at Robinson’s Metro East. I admit, we went there at my suggestion. I had been there before and I liked their biscuits served with syrup. I wasn’t quite prepared for their fried chicken though. Let’s just say they really needed to coat the chicken pieces with all that flour just to hide the taste.
I felt so bitin that I decided we’d have fried chicken today. No coating. Why hide the chicken and all the flavors under tons of flour?

you know, beth, you should have clicked the link to page 2 first before posting a catty remark like that. There are 2 links in every entry.
Hi Connie! This looks so yummy… tomorrow I will try your Braised Chicken recipe, and then maybe I can attempt this recipe the day after that. LOL
I have never been able to make fried chicken at home that I really liked, so I am trying to find “the one”. I just have two quick questions, hope it’s okay: 1) Is there any substitute for the Basil if I can’t find any? 2) What do you think about blanching/boiling the chicken before frying? (I saw this on TV) Thanks for your blog and more power to you!
You can just omit the basil, Miam. Won’t be the same though.
Re blanching. What for? That’ll take away so much flavor and nutrients.
