I super loved the fried chicken wings that I made for dinner.

Early this morning I walked to the convenience store to get a few items that I forgot to buy last time. I got oatmeal, biscuits, soda crackers, coconut juice, dish detergent and trash bags. Then I looked through the frozen section and decided to grab a pack of chicken wings. I initially wanted to cook chicken wings adobo for lunch today but we had so much leftovers in the fridge, so we ate those leftovers instead. I saved the chicken wings for dinner and thought that maybe I should make that good ol' fried chicken that my mom used to make. We call it "toyomansi" fried chicken. The term "toyomansi" came from the words "toyo" (soy sauce) and "calamansi" (local lime). We combine soy sauce and calamansi juice to make a marinade for the chicken. Then we fry them. Salt and pepper to taste. It was so good that my youngest daughter asked if she could try making it herself next time. I said SURE This is the kind of fried chicken that I grew up with. I only learned about breaded chicken like KFC's when I was about 14 already. I love breaded chicken too but will always come home to this classic Filipino-style toyomansi fried chicken. Does your family have a classic recipe for fried chicken?
