Рецепт Lechon Manok sa Kawali (Roasted Chicken in a Pot)

by Manny Montala

Lechon Manok sa Kawali (Roasted Chicken in a Pot) This is a recipe of a simple lechon manok without roasting it in the oven or charcoal because you are only using an ordinary wok or cooking pot. The chicken is also stuffed with onion, garlic and lemon grass to make it savory. I think this is also called roasted chicken in a pot in some recipes. The heated empty pot or wok will serve as an oven for roasting the chicken but you have to line it with banana leaves to avoid burning the skin of the chicken that touches the pot. The banana leaves will also add a distinctive flavor to the roasted chicken compared to using aluminum foil, but just in case banana leaves are not available, I think aluminum foil will suffice.   Lechon Manok sa Kawali (Roasted Chicken in a Pot)   Print Prep time Cook time Total time   Author: Manny Recipe type: Chicken Recipe Cuisine: Filipino Serves: 4 servings Ingredients 1½ kilo whole dressed chicken 2 Tbsp. coarse salt 1 tsp. ground black peppercorns banana leaves for lining the pot 4 pcs laurel leaves 1 head garlic, crushed 4 pcs red onions, chopped 1 stem lemon grass (tanglad) Instructions How to cook Lechon Manok sa Kawali: Mix the salt and pepper in a small bowl and rub it on the skin and in the inside of the dressed chicken.
