Jollibee Chicken Joy
Jollibee Chicken Joy is one of my favourite soul foods. It's crispy on the outside, and super juicy on the inside. As you may know, Jollibee is a very famous Filipino food chain specializing in classic Filipino fare such as Spaghetti and Fried Chicken. My very own copycat Jollibee Chicken Joy is seasoned and fried just right for crispiness and taste.

Notes
How long does Chicken Joy take to fry?
Frying chicken takes 7-8 minutes per side. About 15 minutes to cook in total. When frying make sure to drop a little bit of flour once it bubbles, then you can start frying chicken.
What type of Oil to use?
There are lots of choices when it comes to oil used for deep frying. You can use Neutral oils like vegetable, canola or peanut oil. I suggest you use vegetable oil for deep frying because it has a high smoke point and can be reused later.
