 Description:
hoping to capture that lechon manok taste from home.... my husband said, 'almost there...'
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
marinade: 1/2 L sprite
rub: a generous combination of pepper, salt, garlic powder, mrs. dash, onion powder
stuffing: 1 tbsp crushed ginger, diced tomatoes, and onions
baste: 1/4 c ketchup, 1/ 4 c soy sauce, a drizzle balsamic vinegar
Directions:
*punch the chicken with invisible holes using a fork
*marinate chicken in sprite for four hours (a tip I learned from Patricia)
*generously rub the spice combination, especially the insides. chill overnight
*insert stuffing and tie legs using a dental floss
*bake at 400F, cover the chicken with foil in the first hour of baking
*remove chicken and then baste
*continue baking for another hour this time removing the foil cover except for the wings (ideally you should continue baking it at a lower temperature, 350-375F perhaps to avoid drying the chicken),
*chicken will cook for about 2-2.5 hours or until internal temperature reaches 170F (if blood comes out when you poke the chicken, it is still uncooked)
*remove from oven, let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
*garnish and serve
