Wednesday’s Helping: Ingredient Alternatives for Chamorro Style Fried Chicken

Yummy and fried the Chamorro way

The Mixed Stew has some interesting recipe twists when considering Chamorro-style fried chicken.  For example don’t forget that you can prepare pork spare ribs, pork belly cubes, and even pork chops this way.  If you wanna stay with poultry, try using quails, Cornish hens, and turkey parts.  We suggest cutting back on soy sauce if you need to cut back on the salt content.  Add a bit of minced cilantro, a pinch of cumin, or cardamom to the marinade for a slightly minty flavor accent.  Lastly, add chopped jalapenos, a sprinkle of paprika, or hot pepper flakes to the mix for a spicy hot kick.
