A Chamorro favorite, especially at fiestas and barbeques!! Similar to a tangy grilled chicken salad; but with no mayo.

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.

[email protected]This Chamorro chicken kelaguen was so flavorful and delicious! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the marinade gave it a wonderful smoky flavor. The kelaguen sauce was also very tasty, with a nice balance of tanginess and sweetness.
