Although store bought roasted chicken tastes good, is quick to prepare, and available around the grocery store nearby, I still crave for Filipino style roasted chicken. Home made roasted chicken may take multiple steps to prepare but you will be satisfied of the taste that you are looking for. It is juicy in every bite, has a citrusy scent from lemon grass and has a mild tart flavor from the lemon (or calamansi) combined with garlic, shallots, ground black pepper and salt.

\nChristmas and New Year are the most celebrated holidays in the Philippines where families and friends gather and share home cooked meals. Lechon Manok is one of the specialties in the menu along with the more internationally known Lechon Baboy (roasted whole pig).<\/p>\n

Once you start smelling the savory roast chicken at home, on the streets, or at the restaurant you\u2019ll start dreaming about the steamy white rice to pair it with! The aroma of the spices being used is just delightfully irresistible.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/em> In this recipe, I roasted the chicken using a roasting pan with a rack. You may also use the pan without the rack as long as you put more chunks of onion and lemon grass underneath the chicken to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n
