1. Season chicken with calamansi or lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, remaining salt and pepper, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Mix well. In a shallow bowl, mix together the beaten egg and milk.
3. Dredge the chicken in the flour mix then dip in egg mixture, then dredge again in flour mix. Let stand for 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Heat oil or lard in a deep-frying pan over medium heat. Deep-fry the chicken a few pieces at a time, about 8 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and chicken is cooked through.
5. Make the gravy. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, until lightly golden. Add warm milk and whisk until smooth. Add stock and continue whisking until thick. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.

It is recommended that you serve the chicken with mashed potatoes and buttered vegetables. Or do what I did, I partnered it with a salad with thousand island dressing.
