How to use this list
Start by reviewing your kitchen for items like fish sauce, neutral cooking oil, or salt. Use the list to shop for fresh ingredients: bone-in chicken leg quarters, calamansi or lime juice, cane vinegar, lemongrass stalks, garlic, ginger, and scallions. For the marinade, combine the juices, vinegar, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Annatto seeds and oil are used to make the basting oil that gives the chicken its signature color. Cook jasmine rice and toss it with annatto oil to serve alongside the chicken.
Common mistakes OR What to skip
Don’t use boneless chicken or skip the skin—the skin crisps up on the grill and adds flavor. Lemongrass is key; omitting it changes the dish. Avoid bottled lemon juice; use fresh calamansi or lime for the best taste. Don’t forget to soak and strain the annatto seeds for proper color. Using plain white rice instead of annatto rice loses the signature look and taste.
