Recipe Summary Lechon Manok (Pinoy Roast Chicken)

Ingredients | Pork Sarciado Panlasang Pinoy

1 onion, chopped

15 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup calamansi juice

¼ cup fish sauce (patis)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon brown sugar

1 whole chicken, cleaned and patted dry

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

6 lemongrass stalks, or more to taste

3 bay leaves

Directions

Combine onion, garlic, calamansi juice, fish sauce, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar in a bowl to make marinade.

Place chicken in a roasting pan. Rub marinade over chicken, including inside the cavity. Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator, about 4 hours. Reserve leftover marinade in the bowl.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Trim lemongrass, discarding tough outer stalks. Pound inner stalks with a heavy object until bruised. Place lemongrass and bay leaves inside the chicken cavity.

Stir oil into the leftover marinade in the bowl.

Roast chicken in the preheated oven, basting with the oil mixture from time to time, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 60 to 90 minutes.

Remove chicken from the oven and allow to rest in a warm area for 15 minutes before serving.

Calamansi is a citrus fruit widely cultivated in the Philippines. If you can't find calamansi, use lemon juice.
