Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 6 cup water
  • 4 pcs dried bay leaves
  • 1 cup parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup table salt
  • 3 tbsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, add the water, dried bay leaves, salt and pepper. Place the whole chicken into a steamer basket and put it on top of the pot. Cover and steam it for 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  • Remove the chicken from the steamer and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Rub a generous amount of table salt and ground black pepper on the skin of the chicken.
  • Using a deep-frier or a large pot over medium heat, add the cooking oil and deep-fry the chicken for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. For a crispier skin, fry the chicken twice for another 5 minutes. Serve with sweet potato fries and banana ketchup.
