Random Discovery # 3


Do you ever wonder what gives Max's Fried Chicken its distinctive taste?  It has no visible coating or any external trace of flavor enhancers, yet it is very tasty in a way that seems natural but not overwhelming.

The secret is in the cooking oil.

They first deep-fry chicharon bulaklak in the oil.  The intestines are reputedly the tastiest part of a pig, and it also contains lots of pig fat.  Once the frying is done, the resulting oil already contains a high concentration of tasty pig fat.  This is where they, in turn, deep fry the chicken.
