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

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.
