Proben (Deep Fried Chicken Skin)
Proben is one of the most popular street snacks you can get in the Philippines. Proben, also known as proven, is short for proventriculus, offal that is found near a chicken’s gizzard. Traditionally, the Proben is dredged in flour and seasoned before being deep-fried. In this recipe, chicken skin is used instead but the cooking process remains the same. Proben can be eaten with rice or paired with your favorite alcoholic beverage, making this the perfect food to have during drinking sessions.
