No-Oil Fried Chicken

Kids love fried chicken; and every mom has her own recipe. I remember the first time I ever made fried chicken: I was pregnant with my firstborn E. It was lunch and I was really hungry. At the time, I didn't know how to cook, so I ended up burning my fried chicken. Needless to say, it was still all bloody inside. Over the years, I've made all sorts of fried chicken: with just salt, one time with milk (because that's supposedly the secret behind Max's), sometimes with soy sauce. These days, I like making chicken adobo first, then frying it.

The other day, I snagged a cool recipe for fried chicken, chicken wings to be exact, from Maria Cordero of Fat Mama, who is such a character by the way. She is a mother of six, a grandmother of 11, and she can cook for 20 plus people in 30 minutes. Now, that's my kind of mom!

Anyway, on to her chicken wings.
* Defrost your chicken.
* Pre-heat a non-stick pan. Now, just place your chicken in the pan, and wait for it to turn slightly brown. You'll see the fat oozing out of the chicken in no time.
* When the chicken's golden brown, splash a bit of alcohol onto it; wine would do but brandy would be better.
* Turn the heat off. And now, splash some sweet soy sauce into the chicken. It's that easy, and what's great is that you can do it for fatty fishes, too!

We tasted Maria's chicken and it was delicious! I'm definitely going to try that this weekend!
