Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (3 -4 lb) whole chickens, split in half
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/2-3/4 cup fresh lemon juice, adjust according to taste
2 teaspoons salt, adjust to taste
1/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
2 -4 habanero peppers, chopped, adjust to your taste
3/4 cup freshly grated coconut meat, NOT THE SWEET BAKING KIND (optional)

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.

Categories Short Grain Rice

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

5 cups short-grain rice, Calrose rice is preferred
5 1/2 cups water
4 tablespoons vegetable oil or 4 tablespoons bacon grease
1 (1/3 ounce) package achiote powder, I use Mama Cita's brand, can be found at any Asian market
2 (1 1/2 ounce) packages sazon goya with coriander and annatto
1 (1 1/2 ounce) package Goya ham seasoning
1/4-1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt, may need more according to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning

Steps:

In a bowl, wash the rice until the water runs clear. Transfer to a rice cooker pot that's at least a 10 cup cooker. In a separate bowl; combine the rest of ingredients. Making sure to combine the seasonings until dissolved and the achiote powder is well mixed. Taste a bit and adjust the salt and seasonings according to your taste preference.
Pour over the rice in the cooker and stir well to combine. Press button to cook; halfway through cooking time, stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Let cooking time finish. Let sit a few minutes before enjoying.
This can also be cooked on the stovetop. Bring the rice to a full boil, stir, cover with a lid and lower heat to about med-low. Continue cooking for about 20-30 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on it as not to burn. That's why I prefer the rice cooker.
Enjoy with chamorro barbeque and finadene.
