Filipino Barbecue Marinade

Filipino Barbecue Marinade

1 cup soy sauce
1 head garlic, minced
1 onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons of kalamansi juice or lemon juice
1 cup of lemon-lime soda
2 cups of tanglad (lemon grass)
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper*
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper*

* Optional - we found the pepper a bit too strong.

Marinade is good for 2-3 pounds of chicken or pork cut into cubes. According to the original recipe, it’s best to marinate the meat for only a couple hours instead of overnight, and then skewer the meat and grill it until it’s done. We marinated it overnight, turned out great.

Indoor broiling - heat your oven up to 550F, switch to Broil. Pop in the chicken on aluminum broiling pan on top shelf and broil for roughly 10 - 15 minutes, depending on density/size of chicken chunks. Interior temp of 160F.

Very yummy. Serve with Lumpia and rice for full on Filipino feasting. :D
