Barbecue Chicken

 In the Philippines and in other Asian countries, it is first marinated in a sauce before the grilling process.
The Philippines is known for its popular street food, the Pork Barbecue. You could see it in practically every street corner being cooked in food carts especially at night.

Ingredients

½ kg chicken thighs or legs

½ cup banana catsup

½ cup soy sauce

½ cup sugar

8 oz 7 Up or Sprite

¼ cup calamansi or lemon juice

6 pt cloves garlic

miced

1 tbsp pepper

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine together the soy sauce, garlic, calamansi or lemon juice, soda, pepper, banana cat-sup and sugar. Whisk them well making sure that everything is mixed well. Add the chicken pieces, and with your bare hands, mix all the ingredients together.

Marinate the chicken covered in the refrigerator overnight. The longer you marinate it, the better the flavors will develop.

Remove the chicken pieces. In a sauce pan, pour in the marinade. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes or until it has reduced to a syrup.

Grill them on a gas grill or charcoal for about 15 to 20 minutes on each side until both sides are done. Baste the chicken with the marinade every time the meat is tuned.

Transfer to a serving plate and serve with rice and atchara.

Enjoy!
