Ep.1 Jollibee Spicy Chickenjoy Copycat

Ingredients�Chicken thighs and drumsticks

Brine�3 cups water�3 Tbsp kosher salt (use half if using iodized salt)�1/2 chicken bouillon cube�1 Tbsp sugar�1 Tbsp cayenne pepper

Batter�1 egg�1/4 cup all-purpose flour�1/2 cup water
Seasoned Flour�2 cups all-purpose flour�2 Tbsp baking powder�3 Tbsp chicken powder�1 Tbsp garlic powder�1/2 tsp white pepper�1 tsp paprika

Jollibee Gravy�1 1/2 cups water�1 chicken bouillon cube�2–3 tsp soy sauce�1/8 tsp white pepper�2–3 tsp condensed milk
Cornstarch Slurry�3 Tbsp cornstarch�3 Tbsp water

Instructions
1. Make the brine by mixing 1 cup of hot water with the salt, bouillon cube, sugar, and cayenne pepper. Stir until dissolved, then add the remaining 2 cups of cold water. Submerge the chicken and refrigerate for up to 3 days. One day works, but a longer brine helps achieve that signature Jollibee texture.
2. Prepare the batter by whisking together the egg, flour, and water until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the seasoned flour ingredients until evenly combined.
3. Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly coat the chicken with plain flour and shake off the excess. Dip into the batter, letting the excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the seasoned flour. Press the flour into the chicken to create texture.
4. Heat oil to 350°F. Fry the chicken for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a rack to drain.
5. For the gravy, combine the water, bouillon cube, soy sauce, white pepper, and condensed milk in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer while whisking. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue whisking until the gravy comes to a boil and thickens. Once it boils, remove from heat.
6. Serve the crispy chicken with hot white rice and plenty of gravy.
