Roast chicken asado
A whole chicken is marinated for at least twenty-four hours to prepare it for roasting. Meat is braised in a salty-sweet sauce to make asado. I combined the two to create a new way of cooking roast whole chicken. I call it roast chicken asado.
The chicken is actually cooked twice. It is boiled before roasting. But don’t let that intimidate you. This is a very, very simple recipe.
I might as well let you in a little secret too about how I came up with the idea for this dish. See, I was out the whole morning to take care of the paper work for my kids’ transfer to a non-traditional school. It was 11.00 o’clock by the time I got home. The chicken I was planning on cooking for lunch hadn’t completely thawed. I couldn’t chop it into smaller pieces. I thought I might as well cook it whole. But I couldn’t just throw it in the oven. It hadn’t been marinated. So, the idea was born. Boil it with all the spices and seasonings so that it absorbs all the flavor, then brown it in the oven.

Yum, yum. Reminds me of my favorite food: inihaw barbecue baboy asado kebab on a stick. But we cannot cook it here in the country where I work so I will make a roast chicken asado version.
hehehe, akala ko ako lang naka-imbento nito.. and the situation is the same.. cutting down on my time or rather hurrying up to feed my hungry family. At another time, I added chili sauce in the gravy mix and also I slow smoke grilled it (kasi oven namin nuon), wow, it came out perfect with cold rice mixed with shredded lettuce and little mayonnaise.
Success on my first try, Connie. Your Roast Chicken Asado is perfect! Sarap ng dinner namin ngayon. Thanks.
I cant find star anise here, any substitute for it?
Cinnamon stick, Alex.
