A lot of businesses have gone
dormant or close to it during the earlier, more restrictive community lockdowns
throughout the Philippines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes
the entertainment industry, so a lot of actors, recording artists and the like
have sought alternative means of making a living, such as engaging in business
online. Selling anything from medical equipment to clothing to food delivery,
these star-power merchants have made online marketplaces quite lively. A certain
very popular rap artist s part of these online COVID-period entrepreneurs, but
he is also generous enough to share his secrets with everybody.
Said rapper is Aristotle “Gloc-9”
Pollisco, who as GMA News reports is
engaging in the online food industry by offering his special fried chicken.
Details on his product were provided in an Instagram post, dated Tuesday, July
14. A photo showed delicious golden-brown deep-fried chicken which Gloc-9 is
offering in 4-piece packs priced at P350 each. The rapper explains they are
available for delivery on phone order this coming weekend, or Saturday and
Sundy July 18-19. For those who are not in Metro Manila however, Gloc-9 has
that covered too, because he has shared his personal chicken recipe on YouTube.
On the video “Fried Chicken ni Gloc-9” posted on his official YouTube channel, Gloc begins by trying to conventionally tell his fried chicken recipe a la a TV cooking show, only to give up during the intro and deciding to provide the steps in an awesome rap. In three quick stanzas sandwiched between repeats of the catchy refrain, the rap-fryer details the ingredients needed for Gloc-9’s personal marinade – garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and either red or green chili – plus the two-phase cooking procedure to make his assuredly delicious fried chicken recipe.
As the song goes, one needs to boil
water in a saucepan, in which all the marinade ingredients are mixed in
preferred portions to according to personal taste. Then pieces of chicken are
boiled in the marinade until the chicken-skins are a shade of red. They are then
removed from the marinade (before they get too cooked). Next, the prepared
chicken slices are left in the refrigerator overnight before being fried as normal
the following day. Gloc-9 swears in his song that the results taste so good
diners risk running out of rice. And if the over 8,300 likes on the video is
any indication, many are inclined to agree.
The “Fried Chicken ni Gloc-9” is
but one of several food products that Gloc is selling online. He has even
defended his little business on social media from detractors, saying he is
merely setting an example for others to take action and earn even if the
COVID-19 restrictions still remain.
