Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 6 pack of chicken drumsticks
  • Adobo
  • 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Wash the chicken. With a sharp knife, make a couple of incisions on each drumstick.
  2. Season all the drumstick with liberal amounts of adobo. Set aside for one hour before cooking to allow the meat to absorb the seasoning.
  3. In a frying pan, place the oil and heat at moderate low heat for about 15 minutes.
  4. Place the chicken in the hot oil carefully.
  5. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Turn the chicken every 15 minutes to insure even cooking.
