My version of Max's Fried Chicken

So i was craving for Max's Fried Chicken and i thought why not try to mimic that famous, tasty and sarap to the bones chicken of Max's Restaurant.

What makes Max's Fried Chicken (for me) is that its really tasty even without sauce or gravy. And its very crispy.

I wasn't surprise that there are other people who tried recreating this chicken.
