Chicken Inasal

Mom rarely cooks but when she’s in the mood she goes
all out to prepare it. She likes to try out new recipes
from magazine. She does it usually on Sundays. If,
during the cooking, something would go wrong,
that’s when she talks to herself and makes adjustments.
This is her “bulong” or secret ingredient as Dad calls it.

Last Sunday she made Chicken Inasal, adapted from
Yummy  magazine, September 2009 issue.

 Chicken Inasal

2/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup soda (7-up or sprite)
1 1/2 tbsp chopped ginger

  (we didnt have calamansi so we used dayap juice instead)

1/2 tbsp rock salt
1 tsp pepper
4 pcs chicken thigh

for the annatto oil:
3 tbsp corn oil
1/3 cup annato seeds
1 tsp salt

     brown sugar,salt and pepper. Rub marinade into
     the chicken and chill overnight.
