Mang Melchor’s Chicken Inasal

Ingredients:

Chicken (leg part.. my fave)
Ginger
Garlic
Brown Sugar
Cane or Coconut Vinegar
Calamansi
Rock Salt
Lemon Grass
Star Margarine (Philippine's famous butter)

Marinating:

1. Take chicken parts and place it in a big bowl.
2. Add finely chopped ginger, garlic, brown sugar, cane or coconut vinegar, kalamansi (calamondin), rock salt, lots of lemon grass (crushed).
3. Marinate the chicken for about an hour (not much longer as the vinegar will have almost completely “cooked” the meat.)
4. Then fire up a charcoal grill and barbecue the chicken over medium-low flames while basting with achuete (annatto seed) oil.

To make the achuete oil (chicken oil):

1. heat up several tablespoons of vegetable oil
2. drop in 2 tablespoons of achuete and turn the fire off after a minute or so.
3. Let the oil absorb the intensely orange red color of the achuete and strain away the solids. 4. Cook until chicken is just done and remove from the heat.

While grilling:

1. Mix melted STAR MARGARINE, achuete oil (chicken oil), and pepper
2. brush this to chicken while grilling WHOA! Serve with Vinegar w/ Sili and Garlic Rice w/ a liitle chicken oil!

Serve HOT! Yummy! The Best! My Favorite!
