Steps:
- Prepare the bbq grill, either gas or charcoal. Lightly salt the split chicken. Grill the chicken until just done; do not overcook! Set aside to cool completely. Debone the chicken and then chop coarsely.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Adjust lemon juice and salt according to your taste. This can be eaten right away with warm corn tortillas. This dish is typically served as a side dish at chamorro fiestas and barbeques.
- The traditional way adds fresh shredded coconut (NOT the baking kind). I prefer not to add it just for personal taste.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your kelaguen.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
- Grill the chicken over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken; it should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken cool slightly before chopping it. This will make it easier to chop and will prevent the chicken from falling apart.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the chicken. This will help to ensure that the chicken is chopped evenly.
- Add the chopped chicken to a bowl and mix it with the other ingredients. Be sure to incorporate all of the ingredients evenly.
- Serve the kelaguen immediately or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
Kelaguen is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as an appetizer, a main course, or a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its bold flavors and unique texture, kelaguen is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
