| Lechon Manok (Pinoy Roast Chicken) Juicy whole chicken roasted or cooked on a rotiserrie. It still remains a popular street food in the Phillipines. It's best to give time for marinating so that the flavour melds together. Serve it with lechon sauce. Ready in 5 hours 50 mins Added to favourites by 7 cooks Ingredients Serves: 6 | |

Preparation method
Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 1 hour 30 mins | Extra time: 4 hours, marinating
1. Clean chicken and pat dry. Rub the whole chicken, including inside the cavity with chopped onions, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, calamansi juice and patis and let marinade in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
2. Heat oven to 200°C. Take the chicken out of refrigerator and stuff the cavity with the bay leaves and lemongrass bulbs.
3. Put the chicken in oven and roast for 1-1 1/2 hours depending on the size. Add the oil to the leftover marinade sauce and baste the chicken with sauce a couple of times. Check for doneness by poking through the inner thigh and if the juices run clear it's done. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Tip
If you can't find calamansi, substitute with lemons.
