Jollibee

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants, known as “the McDonald’s of the Philippines” where it handily beats out McDonald’s and Burger King in popularity and local market share.

As of April 2018, JFC had a total of about 1,200 Jollibee outlets worldwide, with shops in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, East Asia (Hong Kong, Macau), North America (US and Canada) and Europe (Italy and the UK).

Jollibee Chickenjoy

The Chickenjoy is a key part of Jollibee’s breaded crispy chicken meal.

It is cited in 2019 as the bestseller of the fast food brand in “every market in the world” according to Dennis Flores, the head and President of Jollibee Foods Corporation.

You can order the Chickenjoy in a number of different options from their menu. Examples include in by itself (solo), in a value meal, with buttered corn, or with jolly spaghetti.

The hand-breaded fried chicken is praised for being crispy and juicy and some say Chickenjoy is even better than Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Note – This is a 2 day recipe with the marinating time.

To make ChickenJoy without a pressure cooker -

• Follow directions for marinating and breading the chicken.
• Heat oil in the deep fryer or deep frying pan to about 350°F.
• Carefully place breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil. Depending on the size of your fryer and the size of your chicken, you can put 4 to 5 pieces per batch. Don't overcrowd the fryer to avoid the fried chicken becoming soggy and loosing its crispiness.
• Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes until chicken is done and breading is browned and crispy.
• Remove and place chicken on a paper towel or a rack to drain the excess oil.
