Chicken Inasal (Nut-Free)
Grilled chicken marinated in achiote oil, ginger, garlic, and calamansi, for a distinct Filipino flavor without nuts. A classic dish made safe for everyone.
Ingredients
- about 910 g Chicken Thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 1/4 cup Achiote Oil
- 2 tbsp Ginger (minced)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup Calamansi Juice
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (Wheat-Free Tamari)
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the 1/4 cup achiote oil, 2 tablespoons minced ginger, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup calamansi juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (wheat-free tamari), 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- 2Add the about 910 g chicken thighs to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat each piece evenly. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- 3Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 175°C to about 205°C (175°C to 200°C).
- 4Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the preheated grill grates.
- 5Grill the chicken thighs for 6 to 8 minutes on the first side. Flip the chicken and grill for another 6 to 8 minutes on the second side. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C and has a slightly charred exterior.
- 6Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
- 7Serve the Chicken Inasal hot, ideally with rice and a dipping sauce if desired.
