Rose's Chamorro Chicken Kelaguen image

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

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.

This dish is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll use less chili peppers next time.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The chicken is savory and smoky, and the kelaguen sauce is tangy and sweet.

This dish is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The chicken and kelaguen sauce are both amazing.

I didn't have any achiote paste, so I used paprika instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken in the fridge and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed this dish. The kelaguen sauce had just the right amount of heat.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the kelaguen sauce was delicious. I think I'll try using a different cut of chicken next time.

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.
