I’m one of those who eat chicken until the last muscle. Sometimes, I even breakdown the bones so I can sip the marrow. Well, I’m not alone. Many of us are suck for chicken, especially when they are coated with a great sauce.

Speaking of chicken with sauce. I want it sweet and spicy.

This Sweet and Spicy Chicken is a dish cooked with the use of an electric griller. We can consider this one as not the dump-and-cook dish because this requires flipping and turning because this will be cooked with the marinade.

What is the Recommended Griller?

The recommended electric griller for this recipe is the round one that doesn’t have the spout to eliminate the excess oil or juice. We need to cook the chicken with the marinade.

If you don’t have a griller without the spout, it’s ok. You can just gradually add the marinade so it won’t spill out and create disaster.

Ingredients

• 1 kilo chicken – clean and remove the fat parts
• 1 cup tomato catsup
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 medium red onion – chopped
• 3 cloves garlic – minced
• Half of a Thai pepper
• 1 teaspoon chopped ginger
• ground pepper
• salt

Make the Herb Juice

1. In a pan, put the 1 cup water, onion, ginger, garlic, half of the Thai pepper, and salt to taste.
2. Boil until the onion and garlic become transparent.
3. Strain and let it cool.

Cook the Sweet and Spicy Chicken

1. Turn the electric griller into the lowest heat.
2. Add the chicken and let it simmer for a while.
3. Add the herb juice, tomato catsup, soy sauce, sugar, and ground pepper. Then, mix well.
4. Turn into the highest heat and let the mixture and chicken mix together.
5. Turn off the heat when the marinade coats the chicken well.
6. Serve and enjoy.

• You can cut the chicken based on your preferences. When I opt to cook it, I ask the butcher to cut it adobo way.
• It’s much better if you’ll follow the procedure with the herb juice. The tiny bits of herbs might burn as you cook the chicken.
• You much flip the pieces chicken gradually so you can cook them evenly.
• This sweet and spicy chicken is best paired with hot rice and a glass of ice-cold cola.

Pineapple is another everywhere fruit of the Philippines and they are cheap. A piece of this fibrous goodie can go as low as P20.00.

Since it’s always available, it has become a part of Filipino cuisine… One example is Pininyahang manok.

Pininyahang Manok is a dish where the chicken is cooked in coconut milk, pineapple, vegetables, and spices. This is one of the dishes my mom loved to cook way back my elementary days.

For most of us, our very first heartache is bff breakup, and it hurts — a lot. We all came to those moments that our childhood best buddy broke up with us indirectly by having their own set of friends.

I remember this childhood buddy of mine named John (not his real name because we are FB friends). We used to play together, gang on other children together, roam around the streets, and share foods. We are inseparable.

Unfortunately, when we reached our schooling age, things changed. I went to school and John didn’t study because of poverty. The first month and second month were ok. However, as months go by he appeared avoiding me; and opted to be with our neighbors who are out-of-school children as well.

1. In a bowl combine the ground chicken, onion, garlic, carrots, a teaspoon of flour, salt and pepper and egg. Then, mix well.
2. Let it rest.

Make the Breading:

1. Season a cup of flour with salt and pepper.
2. Prepare the bread crumbs in a separate bowl.

Coat the Chicken Nuggets:

1. Scoop a spoon full of chicken dough.
2. Drop it in the flour then form it into a square.
3. Coat it.
4. Lay on a flat surface then set aside.
5. Repeat the steps 1 to 4.
6. After the flour bread becomes moist, cover them with bread crumbs until fully coated.
7. Deep fry until golden brown.
8. Serve.

You can adjust the salt and Chicken Nuggets Recipe based on your preferences.

Lifehack… when you order a meal with fries in a fast-food restaurant and the fries came first, you can munch on them while waiting at the counter and ask for a free refill. The members of the crew, including the managers, would be delighted if you will.

Yes, I usually do that. As I said, even the managers allow that so you won’t worry about your cashier being charged for your refill. Just make sure you won’t empty your fries bag. Also, don’t do it after you leave the counter.

Note: Never do it when the outlet is jam-packed; otherwise, they will give you a number so they go on with another customer. It’s quite effective during the dawn.

Another thing that I usually do is ask the crew for special order — a saucy spaghetti. Never in my entire life that my request was never granted.

Aside from spaghetti, one pasta dish that I enjoy when it’s oozing with sauce is the chicken alfredo. Unfortunately, there are a few restaurants that serve them — the fast-food way. So, whenever I crave it, I will buy some ingredients and treat myself.

• 1/2 kilo chicken breast, sliced into thumb-size pieces

Caldereta is a Filipino dish that is made of meat, tomato sauce, and vegetables. It is inspired by the Spanish dish Caldera meaning cauldron.

Traditionally, Caldereta is composed of goat’s meat, tomatoes, water, and spices. Then, it will be boiled until the soup thickens. However, as the years go by, natives of each region added some kicks to the original recipe and changed the protein because of the meat and vegetable availability.

As the palate of Filipinos change, Caldereta became a common tomato dish that varies from region to region. Now, it’s sweet and instead of soup, it has a rich and flavorful sauce.
