My family loves fried chicken, especially my mom’s recipe. Her recipe consists of chicken pieces marinated overnight in a mixture of calamansi juice (calamondin), soy sauce, sugar and 7-up and then fried. Along with pancit (noodles), her fried chicken was the popular dish to serve during birthdays and holidays.
This recipe is a healthier version of fried chicken; the chicken pieces are baked and not fried. Although it does not have the same crunchiness of fried chicken, these oven- fried pieces taste as good. One caution though is not to over bake the chicken otherwise it will come out dry. And of course these oven-fried chicken pieces taste better when they are eaten hot and fresh from the oven. Enjoy!
