Chicken Inasal with Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken (thighs or quarters)
  • 2 pcs lemon grass crushed and sliced
  • 2 pcs garlic cloves crushed
  • 3 tbsp ginger minced
  • 1/2 cup cane vinegar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • oil for brushing the grill

  • 4 tsp achuete seeds (lightly fry in 150ml oil until oil turns orange in colour - strain and discard seeds)
  • 100 grams salted butter
  • 1 tsp salt

  • soy sauce
  • cane or palm vinegar
  • RoniB’s Kitchen Garlic Chilli Oil

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl except for the butter. Make sure the chicken is covered.

  2. Marinade overnight for best results (or at least 12 hours).

  4. Oil your grill to prevent the chicken from sticking.

  5. Take the chicken out of the marinade.

  6. Discard the marinade.

  7. Grill/barbecue the chicken, while basting with the butter-achuete basting mixture.

  8. Turn your chicken pieces constantly and move around the grill to ensure even cooking.

  1. Serve with rice, atchara and a dipping sauce.

  1. Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients.

  2. Adjust the quantity of soy, vinegar, and garlic chilli oil based on your taste.
