Directions
Crispy Pata (Deep-Fried Leg of Pork),An ultimate comfort food when cholesterol doesn’t matter… 🙂 Crispy on the outside and scrumptious succulent meat on the inside… Great for gatherings…,2 tbsps of flour seems incongruent to the instruction coat the meat with flour generously…,Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for posting this recipe. I’m Filipino-Canadian and I’ve always loved this dish, but none of my relatives would ever give me a detailed method to prepare this dish. I don’t mind all the prep… it’s well worth it! Thanks again 🙂
