About Lechon manok

Lechon Manok is a popular Filipino dish consisting of marinated and roasted chicken, traditionally cooked over charcoal to achieve its signature smoky flavor and golden, crispy skin. The marinade typically features a blend of soy sauce, calamansi (a citrus fruit native to the Philippines), garlic, black pepper, and sometimes lemongrass, creating a fragrant and savory taste. This dish provides a good source of protein, essential for muscle repair and growth. Depending on preparation, skin-on Lechon Manok can be high in saturated fat, which may not be ideal for heart health if consumed excessively. However, opting for skinless portions can reduce fat intake while maintaining its nutritional benefits. Pairing it with vegetables and enjoying smaller portions can make this delectable Filipino staple a healthier choice.
