Ingredients:
While specific ingredients for CABALEN’s Chicken Tocino are not listed in the available sources, traditional chicken tocino typically includes:
- Chicken meat (usually boneless, skinless chicken thighs)
- Pineapple juice
- Sugar
- Garlic
- Salt
- Vinegar
- Optional: red food coloring for the characteristic hue
These ingredients are combined to create a marinade that imparts the distinctive sweet and slightly tangy flavor to the chicken.
Cooking Instructions:
To prepare CABALEN Chicken Tocino:
- Thawing: Defrost the frozen chicken tocino in the refrigerator overnight.
- Cooking: Place the marinated chicken slices in a pan with a small amount of water. Cook over medium heat until the water evaporates, allowing the chicken to cook in its own rendered fat. Continue cooking until the chicken caramelizes and achieves a slightly charred appearance.
Serve hot alongside garlic fried rice (sinangag) and a fried egg to complete the traditional “Tosilog” meal.
Storage Recommendations:
- Freezing: Keep the product frozen until ready to use.
- Refrigeration: After cooking, store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within two days.
