Simple Chicken Barbecue


Chicken is probably the most consumed meat worldwide and there are a lot of recipes for this poultry.



While the most popular dish would be the "1 million and one ways" recipe for fried chicken, cooking it barbecue style would be a close second.


Each place and even each household have their own recipes based on their cooking histories.

Ilonggos have the popular chicoen barbecue version Chicken Inasal - the recipe of which is different stalls to stalls, restos to restos and house to house.

But here's a basic recipe for a Chicken Barbecue



Ingredients 

  • 4 pieces chicken leg 
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce or liquid seasoning
  • 6 pieces calamansi, adjustable 
  • 1 tablespoon rock salt, adjustable
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup banana ketchup, spicy (optional)
  • Siling labuyo ot hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 head garlic, minced (optional)

How to Make a Simple Chicken Barbecue


  1. Create the marinade using soy sauce, calamansi,catsup, salt and pepper.
  2. Marinate the chicken overnight for flavors to seep in. Make sure to coat evenly.
  3. To cook, grill the chicken on medium fire around 10 minutes on each side (or until it is completely cooked). 
  4. Use the remaining marinade as basting sauce. You may also create a new batch of basting mixture.
  5. Serve with rice and side dishes like atchara.



The measurements in this recipe are just guides. Just follow your taste and smell instinct when making chicken barbecue.



Of course there are ready made barbecue mixes and it will come to your personal taste which one is the best.

The taste will certainly differ from each household to each brand to the different ways of cooking techniques but to our hearts and taste it wil always be our favorite chicken barbecue. Enjoy

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Laswa

Mention laswa  and a merry mix of vegetables would come to mind. This is a perfect "realization" of the Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" which narrates an abundance of vegetables beside the traditional Filipino hut. Laswa has no definite list of ingredients nor way or cooking as it is just "stewing" available vegetables, not only from the garden, but what's inside your fridge or you bought from the market. It ranges from the simple all vegetable dish to ones having seafood like shrimps, crabs and more. But in the end it all boils ( pun intended ) down to what you prefer at the same time, what is available. Here's a simple recipe for Laswa
