Ingredients
- 3 Chicken leg quarters
For the marinade:
- 1 tablespoon Ginger grated
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon salt
For Poaching liquid:
- 1 tbsp cracked black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 onion quartered

For Frying:
- Canola Cooking oil
For Dipping sauce:
- 5 tbsp Tomato Ketchup or

Instructions
Prepare to Marinate:
Wash and clean chicken legs, then pat dry using paper towels.
Place the chicken legs in a large bowl, then add the garlic, ginger, salt, and ground black pepper.
Generously rub the spices and seasonings into the chicken meat.
Set aside and marinate for 3 hours to overnight.
Prepare Poaching Liquid:
In a pan, pour water, add whole black pepper, garlic cloves, onion, bay leaf, and salt to taste.
Tip: Make sure that the poaching liquid is salty.
Let it boil for 3 minutes, then add chicken.
Make sure the chicken is submerged in the poaching liquid.
Cook the chicken for 15 minutes over medium fire.
After 15 minutes, remove the chicken.
Chill to remove liquid from chicken skin so that
when you fry, it will become crispy.
Let's Fry:
Before frying, make sure to pat dry chicken with a paper
towel to remove the remaining moisture.
Add oil only halfway to the frypan.
Fry until the chicken skins are golden brown.
Remove from the pan.
Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve with Garlic Rice and Lechon sauce or Banana ketchup.
