Chicken Barbecue Recipe

This Chicken Barbecue recipe is a Filipino version which is on the sweeter side as compared to other chicken barbecue recipes. The fondness of Filipinos to grilling or cooking over hot charcoals is so evident. You can buy Chicken Barbecue along street corners and in front of your neighbor’s house.

Marinating the Chicken

This Chicken Barbecue recipe has similar ingredients and methods of preparation with that of the Pork Barbecue. However, their flavors are different. The Chicken Barbecue also requires a good marinade. Marinate your chicken for at least 12 hours to ensure maximum flavors when grilled. The marinade consists of soy sauce, calamansi juice, banana ketchup, salt, sugar, black pepper, and Sprite or 7-up. Mix the marinade well and pour over the chicken. The best chicken parts for the barbecue are the legs and thighs because they do not dry up when grilled. Poke the chicken with a fork to let the chicken meats absorb the marinade.

How to Prepare Chicken Barbecue

Grilling this barbecue chicken is the most fun part. To start grilling, set your charcoals on fire and fan the flame until the rest of the coals are all flared up. Spray in some water into the charcoals to stop the fire and produce an aromatic smoke. Place your chicken and turn them once in a while to prevent them from burning. Brush the chicken with the marinade to keep in the moisture of the chicken. The downside of grilling or cooking over hot charcoals is that the meat tends to be dry and rubbery.

Cook the marinade in low fire.
Add a slurry which is one tablespoon of cornstarch and ½ cup of water.
