Marinade Ingredients
- ¼ cup cane vinegar
- 2 tbsp calamansi juice or lemon juice
- 1 tbsp ground pepper
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 stalk lemon grass chopped
- pinch of salt
Chicken Oil Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken skin
- ½ pc chicken broth cube
- 1 tbsp achuete powder
Instructions
Marinate the chicken
- Thoroughly wash the chicken thighs then pat dry with paper towels. Cut some slits on the chicken diagonally so the meat inside will cook properly. Then rub in the salt.
- In a bowl large enough to fit the chicken, mix in the soy sauce, calamansi juice, cane vinegar, lemon grass, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Rub the marinate mixture on the chicken and cover with cling film. Let it soak for 2/4 hours or if you can, marinate it overnight in the refrigerator.
Making the chicken oil with achuete
- Place chicken skin in a pan over medium heat. Let it cook until it renders fat approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the chicken skin and turn down the heat to low. Add chicken broth cube and achuete powder. Stir until broth cube and achuete powder dissolves.
- Transfer chicken oil sauce in a bowl by passing the oil on a strainer to remove any solids.
Grilling the chicken:
- Start up the grill whether you are using charcoal, oven, or electric grill.
- Place the chicken thighs on the grill and after 2 minutes brush the chicken with the chicken achuete oil.
- Grill the chicken pieces until cooked through while basting both sides with the annatto oil from time to time.
- As a serving suggestion, you can use banana leaves and place it between the chicken and serving plate with rice and chicken oil. Bon appetit!
