About Filipino roast chicken

Filipino Roast Chicken, also known as "Lechon Manok," is a flavorful dish rooted in Filipino cuisine. Marinated in a blend of calamansi (a citrus fruit), soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, and other aromatic spices, this roasted chicken delivers a balance of tangy, savory, and smoky notes. Often cooked over open charcoal for added depth, it boasts tender, juicy meat paired with crisp, golden skin. Lechon Manok is rich in protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, while its marinade incorporates fresh ingredients that enhance flavor without heavy additives. However, the dish's skin can be higher in fat, and its preparation over charcoal may expose it to compounds linked to health risks if consumed excessively. Served with steamed rice and a side of vegetables, it can be part of a balanced meal that highlights Filipino culinary tradition and promotes mindful eating.
