The Recipe: Chicken Inasal, Made Easy with MAGGI®

Ingredients:

½ kilo boneless chicken thigh, cut into 1-inch pieces

½ sachet (8g) MAGGI® Magic Sarap®

3 tbsp (130ml) MAGGI® Savor Chilimansi

2 tbsp vinegar

2 stalks lemongrass (tanglad), sliced

1 tbsp minced ginger

4 cloves garlic, crushed

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp annatto seeds (atsuete)

3 tbsp vegetable oil

½ cup spiced vinegar (for basting or dipping)

 

Cooking Inasal in 4 Easy Steps

  1. Marinade: Sa isang bowl, pagsamahin ang MAGGI® Savor Chilimansi, vinegar, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, pepper, at MAGGI® Magic Sarap®. Add the chicken and mix well. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour—pero kung overnight, mas fiesta ang lasa.
     
  2. Gumwa ng atsuete: In a small pan, combine annatto seeds and oil. Heat gently until the oil turns red-orange. Strain and set aside.
     
  3. Lutuin ang manok: Grill over charcoal (best for that authentic smoky flavor) or on a grill pan. While cooking, baste regularly with the atsuete oil for that signature inasal look and shine.
     
  4. Serve with love: Partner it with garlic rice na may sawsawan at fresh atchara. Kung may MassKara playlist ka pa in the background, party na ‘yan!
