Greetings food lovers,

Hopefully, everyone is doing well. For today I wanted to share again one of my homemade recipes.

Nowadays everything in the market is increasing drastically, so most people now are strategizing how we can save on everyday needs and I am one of them. As much as I can, I actually grow vegetables in the yard to lessen the cost of buying them. One of the things I also tried was to raise batres chickens. From the time they are still chicks when we bought them from the market, we feed them until a few weeks or a month before they can be slaughtered to be used for various dishes to consume.

Therefore for today's recipe, I want to share how we use one of our chickens for viand. At first, I let hubby do the job of preparing the chicken and after that, I took over preparing the recipe to roast the chicken.

While hubby is working on the chicken I went to my garden to look for useful species and I got this fresh lemongrass, lemon basil, and spring onions which I love adding when it comes to roasted dishes.

Besides the spices I got from the garden, I also used onion, garlic, salt, pepper, oyster sauce, and my favorite seasoning granules. After cutting the spices and knotting the lemongrass, I stuff them one by one inside the chicken and lastly seasoned it and skewered it with a bamboo pole to start the roasting.

Anyway, for the skin, I brushed a bit of soy sauce on it that I was not able to mention above. In addition to that we used the primitive way of cooking since we do not have an oven at home, we used leftover coconut shells to roast the chicken.

After Cooking slowly for an hour here is the finished dish.

The taste was just right and the aroma was so great that tells me that I should prepare extra rice 😁.

The size of the chicken we are raising is good, so the roasted one we had some leftovers for the next meal. Truly, it's really better if we produce our food because apart from saving money it feels more satisfying.

Thanks for reading this far I appreciate it so much. I hope you like my dish and see you again in my next food recipes.

Have a good day and stay safe always everyone!

Yummy 😋😋

Thanks!☺

Awesome! Coconut shells are brilliant because they burn for ages and retain their heat. Cooking over an open fire is the best! I never knew this before I came to Thailand lol
Hope you and your family are all well and happy.

Hahaha, that's right! Thanks for dropping by. I wish you good health always 😉.

What a wonderful experience cooking outdoors in the company of the family such a provocative recipe

Yes, that's right. It feels really good. Thank you very much for appreciating.

Ang sarap naman ng roasted chicken mo! Galing din na you grew your own spices at nag-alaga ng manok. Mas tipid at satisfying talaga pag homegrown ang ingredients. Nagutom ako sa pictures at excited to try this recipe. Sana may mag-share pa ng mga gantong recipes. Keep up the good work and more power sa food journey mo! 😊👍

Uuh I love the way you made the fire, I never use coconut because in Italy it's hard to find, by the way the chicken dish look super ☺️

Thank you very much for appreciating. Because the Philippines is rich in coconut, if you live in the province, you will surely have plenty of coconut parts to use for fuel. Thank you for dropping by. Best regards!

Delicious

Thanks for the appreciation ☺. Regards!

Waaah! Doing it in the backyard is such a great way to enjoy it!

Yes, That's true 😉 ☺.

Hi! It is definitely much better and healthier to grow your own food, as well as more economical. I love the way you have gone about cooking it, outdoors, in the most natural way possible. I wish I could do the same. I have recently moved house and I have a very sunny balcony where I might be encouraged to grow aromatic plants and some small vegetables that do not require much space.
To raise chickens in an apartment I don't have space haha, but definitely if I had to sacrifice it I couldn't because I'm very sensitive. I prefer to buy it and not see its face so I don't feel sorry for him/her. 😂

Haha. I know how you feel about the chicken that's the reason I let hubby do the killing I will be just feeling sorry about them. Now my spices are few because it's very hot in the Philippines right now. After all, it's summer, but I'm trying to increase the plantation because of the high prices in the market. I feel like I'm going to cry because even the vegetables I need that I don't have at home cost me a lot of money already. Thanks for dropping by I hope your plant will succeed soon. Let me know 😉.
