Crispy Pata Recipe
Crispy Pata is one of the most favorite and delicious filipino food. Basically its just a deep fried pork leg, sounds easy to cook but deep frying a whole pork leg needs extra caution as the oil goes wild and uncontrollable as soon as you put in the pork leg into the hot oil. You must slightly cover the pan to minimize the splattering of the hot oil but make sure not to fully covered it cause it may pop out due to the pressure.
This Crispy Pata is very high in cholesterol but with its tender and juicy meat and crispy skin that is perfectly matched with its dipping sauce makes this dish irresistible.
