Roses Chamorro Chicken Kelaguen Food

CHICKEN KELAGUEN - IN DEPTH

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce with lemon juice. Add finely chopped onion and peppers. Let sit a few days in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend.
• Marinate the chicken in the Finadene sauce overnight. Grill/broil the chicken, basting with the sauce. After it is done, cool the chicken, debone and shred it.
• Open the coconut and discard the liquid inside. Grate the coconut meat. After the coconut is grated, pick it up in your hands and squeeze it over a bowl to collect the milk. Mix the milk with an equal amount of lemon juice and chill.
• Mix the green onions, peppers, and coconut meat to the chicken. Slowly mix the coconut milk and lemon juice into the chicken, stirring well.
• Serve warm on or in pita bread.

ROSE'S CHAMORRO CHICKEN KELAGUEN

Steps:

• Prepare the bbq grill, either gas or charcoal. Lightly salt the split chicken. Grill the chicken until just done; do not overcook! Set aside to cool completely. Debone the chicken and then chop coarsely.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Adjust lemon juice and salt according to your taste. This can be eaten right away with warm corn tortillas. This dish is typically served as a side dish at chamorro fiestas and barbeques.
• The traditional way adds fresh shredded coconut (NOT the baking kind). I prefer not to add it just for personal taste.

ROSE'S YUMMY CHAMORRO BARBECUE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine everything except the pork ribs. Mix well and set aside.
• Prepare the pork by trimming away the excess fat. Cut into sections of 4, just to make it easier while turning on grill, do not section into individual ribs!
• In a huge ziploc bag, I use the 2 gallon ones -- lay the rib sections flat in bag, pour the marinade over ribs and make sure each section is coated.
• Marinate at least 8 hours or even overnight, making sure to turn bag several times to coat meat.
• Once ready to cook, prepare charcoal grill, this is best! But you can use a gas grill too. Cook ribs until done. Let set a few minutes before cutting into rib sections and enjoy!
• This recipe can also be used on chicken parts.
