CHICKEN KELAGUEN - IN DEPTH
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.

Steps:

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.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Brown the chicken in batches: If you crowd the pot, the chicken will steam instead of brown. Brown the chicken in batches, working in 2-3 batches if necessary.
- Don't skimp on the spices: The spices are what give kelaguen its unique flavor. Be generous with the garlic, ginger, turmeric, and red pepper flakes.
- Use a good quality coconut milk: The coconut milk is a key ingredient in kelaguen. Use a good quality coconut milk that is thick and creamy.
- Serve with rice: Kelaguen is traditionally served with rice. You can also serve it with other sides such as tortillas, bread, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Kelaguen is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its bold flavors and creamy texture, kelaguen is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
