#SundaySupper: Superbowl Sunday with Chicken in Passion Fruit Crunch + Boozy Drinks

TUM_ChickenPassionFruit_0213_1

TOUCHDOWN!!!! That’s what I’ve been screaming ever since the 49ers won the NFC Championship and on their way to the Super Bowl. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not into sports and far from being a sporty. It’s a major relief for not having red flag or B- (and lower) grade for my PE class. However, I’ve always looking forward for SuperBowl Sunday because of those commercials …and food! Ow yeah, there’s always be an excuse to try new recipes and celebrate it, right? So this time around, I came up with chicken coated in passion fruit salt.

It has a combination flavors of salty, fruity, and spicy. It’s definitely a perfect statement of ‘the more, the merrier’. Plus, the potato chips will add the extra crunchiness. Try to use lightly salted potato chips since passion fruit salt is salty enough.

And of course, a party won’t be complete without drinks. Why don’t pair it up with something boozy to jazz up your party. Ow yeah, Sunday Boozy Party – bring it on! I use calamansi, instead of lemons. Calamansi is very popular in South East Asia, especially in the Philippines and they use this a lot for cooking. Calamansi is still within the family of citrus, in fact it’s a hybrid between species in the genus Citrus and unknown in the wild. And of course, like other citrus fruits, this fruit is high in vitamin C.

The taste itself is very refreshing, lemony, with a bit of sweetness. Definitely something that you will always look forward into, especially in the Summer time.
