My girlfriend Kelly cheerfully announced. No. I'm Not Ready, was my immediate retort. Well girl, just look at it as if you will just be cooking for tonight's dinner. You could do it.
You could do it! Four powerful words that sparked enthusiasm and excitement. Before I knew it, I was giggling with her, in front of the camera like we were just having fun. And this my friends is what I would like to present to you... my first collaborative work with Kelly.
Thank you Kelly for the encouragement, the tips, and for shooting this video blog. And as I mentioned in my May 29 post... Thank you for being a friend.

oh my oh my... you definitely are putting it a notch higher. go go go Malou!
ReplyDeletehahah you are hilarious but thanks.. I'm doing this for you hehe!
DeleteMalou
If honestly, I don't have a sound on this PC. But the great thing about your video is that even without sound I could see and understand how much what products you are using and what you are doing! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the feedback. It means so much to me. Thanks for stopping by,
DeleteMalou
Uy, ganda ganda!!! Love your voice, ading ko.
ReplyDeletehihi thank you M'Lani!
DeleteI love you, Sabado. Pati na rin Linggo. Hintay ka lang Jollibee nandyan na ako... Panlsang Pilipino, at home sa Jollibee!
ReplyDeletei couldn't help but sing this commercial jingle while I watched your version of Chicken Joy getting cooked, Ms. Malou... It looks like the real thing and you make it look like it's so easy to cook...
will definitely try this soon...
hungry much,
sandy
I was singing the song in my head too while reading your comment Sandy. You made me smile :).
DeleteI hope to see you stop by again.
xo,
Malou
Malou,
ReplyDeleteI hope you continue to make videos. You are a natural artist. You certainly have a place on YouTube or on a TV show. I learned a new trick and thank you for sharing.
Ms. Malou, if you could put the measurement in text here would really appreciate it, sometimes i would rather read then watch because it makes me have problems when i compare my work to yours, and it turned out to be unsuccessful for i would wanted my work to be exactly replica as yours. would really appreciate it, i miss that chicken joy in philippines so when i got your update i was so eager to learn the recipe so i could make it and serve it to my family. thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteHello there. Thanks for the feedback. I forgot to link the post where you could find the recipe. You see I published the recipe already last year so here is the linky....
Deletehttp://www.skiptomalou.net/2011/05/she-handed-me-apron-as-welcome-gift.html
I really enjoyed that, Malou. You should be in The Next Food Network Star. My children love Chicken Joy, too, and that really looks like it. I could imagine the aroma. Crispy, too! You are tease.
ReplyDeleteaww thanks Adora but no, that's not my place hahah. I'm content with my skip to malou blog haha.
DeleteTake care,
Malou
Great job, Malou! And this comes from someone who has been in front of (and behind) the camera before. While my grandmother's fried chicken is our family's favorite, I might have to give your recipe a shot once it gets cooler in San Diego.
ReplyDeleteSome other thoughts:
- It would be helpful if the recipe was also included in text format.
- Try using a clip-on (AKA lavalier) or shotgun mic next time as it makes the audio more crisp. If your video camera has a mic input, it's as easy as ordering a cheap clip-on or shotgun mic online.
Otherwise, great series and I can't wait to see more videos of you in the kitchen! Also, a big thumb's up to your friend Kelly for cheering you on and helping with the technical aspects of the video. :D
Hi Lorena,
DeleteThank you so much for all the tips that you have shared. I truly appreciate your generosity in sharing those tips to me.
I need a lot of polishing but I know you guys are forgiving haha. I will work on making it better. Thanks againg and warm hugs to your baby!
Take care,
malou
thank you , thank you! But I Agree with Lorena - a text recipe would be very helpful!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, I will re-edit the post. I hope you could try making chicken joy for you kiddies. Are you back or still having fun under CAli sun?
DeleteTake care,
Malou
We've been back a while dear, just wanted to let you know the link for the text recipe doesn't work. :-)
DeleteHi Malou. Our place is strategically located near Jolibee, McDo, Chowking, KFC, Mang Inasal, Shakey's, etc. which all serve popular chicken dishes so fried chicken is usually not among my usual menus at home. And honestly, I become disappointed when I don't get the expected outcome despite the many breading mixes I've tried. Your video gave me a new hope :) Just one question--- can you share with me what you do with the excess oil? because that's another reason why I don't like to deep-fry.
ReplyDeleteGosh, you're a natural in front of the camera. The video was great! I love seeing things when learning a new technique. Only downside, though - and this is just me - is I can read a recipe much quicker than the time it takes to watch a video. But I think most people prefer the video. Good work!
ReplyDeleteHi Malou, love your Filipino style fried chicken, which is so crispy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour video is really great...you're a 'natural' as I told you before. It's a bit too long though, just for simple fried chicken demo! Also, please don't suggest to your readers to add water to the oil to test the heat; it could be very dangerous by splattering grease in one's face...rather, add a few crumbs of the frying batter!
I should put that in a mental note. I know I've been doing that dangerous act for years hahah. thanks for the reminder.
Deletemalou
Gosh, this is good. I’ve been missing the whiffs of golden fried chicken at JB’s – so glad you posted this recipe for it.
ReplyDeletethanks Adrian, it's only now i see t his comment hihi!
DeleteWhat is five spice compose of
ReplyDeleteFive spice is a blend of 5 different spices used in Asian cooking. IT's sold i a packet or in a botte. If it's not available, you can mix the ff:
Delete1 tablespoon Ground anise
1 tablespoon Black peppercorns
1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon Ground cloves
1 tablespoon Fennel seeds
Is five spice required? If not, what could be the best alternative spice/s I can use?
DeleteHi Fred!
DeleteFive spice is an important ingredient in this recipe as it gives you the "hint" and similarity in terms of taste with that of a Jollibee Chickenjoy. Five spice is usually sold in packets or a small jar and is readily available in any Asian specialty grocery store.
Thank you for your question and good luck. Let me know if you need further assistance.
Best,
malou

ReplyDeletedear malou,
ReplyDeleteilang lemon po ang kailangan sa 6 pcs. chicken?? thank you po.
hello there!
Delete1/2 to 1 lemon should be enough. you don't want to overpower it. so if you want it lemon-y wild, 1/2 is fine.
thanks for asking!
