Grill Fried Daing na Manok
Ingredients
5 lbs chicken drumsticks
2 cups vinegar
1 head garlic, crushed
2 tsp. cracked black peppercorns
3 tbsp sea salt
Instructions
1) Make the marinade by combining the vinegar, garlic, black peppercorns and salt in a large bowl. Keep mixing until the salt is dissolved.
2) Place the chicken in a nonreactive container and add the marinade. Arrange the chicken so that it is well soaked with the marinade.
3) Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator overnight.
4) Set up a charcoal grill for indirect grilling. There are several ways to do this -
One way is to rake the coals to one side of the grill and leaving the other side empty. Add the chicken to the side opposite the coals and close the lid.
Another way is by using the BBQ Vortex. The Vortex is a simple steel cone that that will be used with the small opening on top. It creates a super high heat zone directly above the Vortex. Place the chicken around the Vortex away from the direct heat.
5) Grill until internal temperature hits 180 degrees.
6) Remove the garlic from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
7) Once the chicken reaches the 180 degrees, you can add a nice char by placing the chicken in direct heat for about 30-60 seconds per side.

8) Remove from grill and let cool in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
9) Dredge the chicken in flour.
10) Heat cooking oil in wok or heavy stock pot, about 3 cups. Shake off excess flour and fry the chicken (in batches) for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
11) Add the garlic to the pot until golden brown.
12) Top the chicken with the fried garlic and serve.
