Instructions

CHICKEN INASAL

  1. Dissolve sugar and salt in vinegar. Combine vinegar and all other ingredients for the marinade in a blender and pulse for 2-3 minutes until all are cut into tiny pieces.
  2. Place chicken pieces in a ziplock or any food-grade plastic. Pour in the marinade into the plastic with the chicken and seal. Refrigerate for at least an hour but overnight will be better.
  3. Take out from the fridge when ready to cook.
  4. Prepare the basting sauce by simply combining all the ingredients in a bowl.
  5. Grill the chicken pieces until cooked through while basting both sides with the annatto oil from time to time.
  6. Transfer grilled chicken on a serving dish and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Serve with rice and chicken Annato oil sauce.

CHICKEN ANNATTO OIL

  1. Boil chicken skin in water for 15 minutes until almost dry and oil is rendered.
  2. Pour in oil and cook for 10 minutes until crispy.
  3. Remove chicken skin and add the Annatto seeds. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and run the oil through a strainer to remove leftover bits and pieces. Transfer the chicken annato oil in a jar.

Notes

  • The ingredients for Chicken Annato Oil in this recipe will give you about 1 ½  to 2 cups of oil. More than enough for 2 pounds of chicken. You can store the leftover for future use or for other dishes.
