FILIPINO-STYLE BARBECUE CHICKEN
I'm showing you how I make what is probably the best barbecue chicken you've never had, which I should've already done, but I've hesitated since one of the main ingredients is banana ketchup. But then I remembered that I teach people to cook things, so this includes a recipe for this special ingredient.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with 14 cups water, chicken pieces, backbone, wings, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil. Skim foam, reduce heat, and gently simmer for 25 minutes. Remove chicken (except wings); continue simmering while you discard skin and remove meat from bones. Cover meat and refrigerate; return bones to pot and simmer 3 1/2 hours more.
- Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve and discard solids, including bones and wings. Skim fat and transfer broth to a clean pot. Add onions, carrots, celery, ginger, mushrooms, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are very tender, 25 minutes. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, stir in in the bok choy.
- Cut or tear reserved chicken into 3 cups of bite-size pieces. (You'll end up with an extra cup of meat; save it for a salad or a sandwich.) Add to broth, along with cayenne and lemon juice. Heat through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken pieces with skin and bones for the most flavorful broth. Bone-in, skin-on chicken adds more flavor and richness to the soup.
- Caramelize the ginger: This step is essential for developing the soup's unique flavor. Be patient and stir constantly until the ginger is a deep golden brown color.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or leeks.
- Simmer the soup low and slow: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
This chicken soup with caramelized ginger is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The caramelized ginger adds a unique and flavorful twist to the classic chicken soup recipe. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a bowl of soup that will warm your body and soul.
