Chicken: THE WAY Filipinos Love It
published by Lorna Z on Jun 4, 2012
A few ways of cooking chicken the Filipino way. It maybe cooked in whole or parts.
Obviously, I love food. Since I left Philippines ten years ago for work reasons, I tried some other foods like Japanese, Chinese, Malay, Korean and Western dish but as a Filipino blood runs through my veins, nothing still beats to the dish that I used I have since childhood.
Here are some variety of chicken dish that we (Filipinos) love to have either ordinary meal or special occasions that I wanted to share with you.

LECHON MANOK (ROAST CHICKEN), one of our favorites by mixing, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and rub all around the chicken making sure you spread it evenly. Mix melted butter, lemon zest and dried thyme and spread in between the skin and flesh. Stuff onions, lemons and celery stalks and secure the legs of the chicken before roasting it. Traditionally, we used charcoal to cook but in modern times oven are already used.

GINATAANG MANOK (CHICKEN CURRY), a traditional dish cooked in potato, onions, garlic, red bell pepper,curry powder, water and the most important ingredient that could not be missed is the coconut milk. Best served with steamed rice.

PINIYAHANG MANOK (PINEAPPLE CHICKEN), the chicken is marinated with pineapple juice(in can) and stewed with pineapple slices, carrots, onions, green bell pepper and milk. We usually served this dish when guests are coming during especial occasions. Best served when it is hot.

CHICKEN BBQ (GRILLED CHICKEN), yes it may looked like the roast chicken, the differences are the variety of ingredients used and the way of cooking. Normally we used chicken thighs to BBQ. It’s more meaty compared to the other parts of the chicken. We used lime juice, banana ketchup, soy sauce, salt and pepper to marinate the thighs before grilling it. Best serve during occasions like birthdays and fiesta. Chicken BBQ is not complete without a shots of drinks.

These all sound so good. I understand what it is to feel it in your blood. Even though I live inthe United States I am of Polish heritage and grew up on a lot of Polish food and it will always be my favorite foods. I like Italian a lot, but it;s just not Polish food.

thanks everyone for reading my article.
@ KatMeow, you give me an idea to write a part II for this article, I guess I’ll probably do some research, I already forgotten some of our signature dish.

@RemeiRyan, proud to be Pinoy…
@Tankermone, here in Singapore, there is a shopping center that is meant for Filipino products, so I usually buy there if I want an authentic Filipino taste. If you can’t find banana ketchup in the supermarket I suggest that you can replace it with tomato ketchup.
