Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Annatto powder
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 100 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, brown sugar, minced garlic, soy sauce, cider vinegar, salt, pepper, paprika, and annatto powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 3
After marinating, divide the meat mixture into small portions and shape them into logs or patties, about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the chicken longanisa to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly browned.
Step 6
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the longanisa simmer for about 15-20 minutes. The steam will cook the inside thoroughly while keeping the sausages moist.
Step 7
Once the water has evaporated, remove the lid and continue to cook the longanisa. Allow them to brown and caramelize in their own oils for another 5 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through.
Step 8
Serve the dairy-free chicken longanisa hot with garlic rice or as a savory addition to any meal. Enjoy!
