Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 -4 lb) whole chickens, split in half
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/2-3/4 cup fresh lemon juice, adjust according to taste
2 teaspoons salt, adjust to taste
1/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
2 -4 habanero peppers, chopped, adjust to your taste
3/4 cup freshly grated coconut meat, NOT THE SWEET BAKING KIND (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the bbq grill, either gas or charcoal. Lightly salt the split chicken. Grill the chicken until just done; do not overcook! Set aside to cool completely. Debone the chicken and then chop coarsely.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Adjust lemon juice and salt according to your taste. This can be eaten right away with warm corn tortillas. This dish is typically served as a side dish at chamorro fiestas and barbeques.
  • The traditional way adds fresh shredded coconut (NOT the baking kind). I prefer not to add it just for personal taste.

KELAGUEN CHICKEN

This is a classic recipe from Guam, and one of my favorites. It is wonderful wrapped in a tortilla, or served with crackers. It is also wonderful by itself. I hope you like this as much as my family does!

CHICKEN KELAGUEN - IN DEPTH



Chicken Kelaguen - in Depth image

This is a spicy (hot) chicken dish from Guam. This version is more work than my other one, but is richer in flavor, in my opinion. Be careful with the hot peppers! Wear gloves if possible, and wash your hands thoroughly after, not touching your face.

Provided by Lovellama

Time P1DT1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup soy sauce
1 cup lemon juice
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 hot peppers, finely chopped
1 whole broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
1 fresh coconut
lemon juice
4 green onions, finely chopped
3 hot peppers, finely chopped
4 -6 pita bread

Steps:

  • Mix soy sauce with lemon juice. Add finely chopped onion and peppers. Let sit a few days in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend.
  • Marinate the chicken in the Finadene sauce overnight. Grill/broil the chicken, basting with the sauce. After it is done, cool the chicken, debone and shred it.
  • Open the coconut and discard the liquid inside. Grate the coconut meat. After the coconut is grated, pick it up in your hands and squeeze it over a bowl to collect the milk. Mix the milk with an equal amount of lemon juice and chill.
  • Mix the green onions, peppers, and coconut meat to the chicken. Slowly mix the coconut milk and lemon juice into the chicken, stirring well.
  • Serve warm on or in pita bread.
