What is Chicken Tocino?

Tocino is a Philippine meal usually served for breakfast but also an excellent choice for dinner or lunch, accompanied by rice and a sunny-side-up egg cooked in butter. The meat is usually left in a marinade overnight. Pork and chicken are popular meats in the Philippines, and this dish may be made with either pork or chicken.

It’s an excellent dish to have on hand for a quick and delectable dinner or even just as a delicious supper any day of the week.

The dish is also a favorite among children and adults, so you’re sure to keep everyone satisfied.

To get the red Chicken Tocino color, you can use annatto powder. This is optional. 

Chicken Tocino Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 Pound cubed chicken (breast or thigh)
• 1/3 Cup of Pineapple Juice
• 3 TBSP brown sugar
• 4 tsp of chili sauce
• 3 TBSP of ketchup
• 1 TBSP of minced garlic
• 2 tsp of salt
• 2 tsp black pepper
• Third cup of water
• 1 TBSP oil
• 1 tsp of soy sauce
• for red food coloring, you can use annatto powder (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and annatto powder. Stir these ingredients until well mixed.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add your chicken pieces to the bowl with the marinade. Toss them gently to ensure they are fully coated. Transfer the chicken and marinade into a zip lock bag. Seal the bag, ensuring there’s little air inside.
3. Refrigerate: Place the bag in the refrigerator. Let the chicken marinate overnight to absorb all the flavors.
4. Cook the Chicken: The next day, pour the contents of the zip lock bag (chicken and marinade) into a saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat. Add a small amount of water and continue boiling. Keep boiling until the water has mostly evaporated and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
5. Caramelize the Chicken: In a separate pan, heat some cooking oil over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken pieces to the pan. Fry them until they achieve a nice caramelized, slightly crispy exterior.
6. Serve: Plate the caramelized chicken tocino with a side of garlic fried rice and a fried egg. Add some sliced pepper for extra flavor and color.

Tips

• Marinating Time: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. Overnight marination is recommended for the best taste.
• Adjust Spiciness: Feel free to adjust the amount of chili sauce based on your preferred spice level.
• Serving Suggestion: For a complete meal, serve this with a cup of steaming garlic fried rice, a sunny-side-up egg, and some fresh vegetables or a salad.

FAQ

What cornmeal should you buy for Corn Dogs?

Fine yellow cornmeal is recommended. Avoid using “medium” or “course” cornmeal. They will have too many granules, and they won’t work. It is usually finely ground, according to my experience.

What dip should I use for Corn Dogs?

When dipped into your favorite sauce, these corn dogs can become the delicious meal you expect. You can use ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, ranch, honey mustard, Barbecue sauce, garlic aioli, or special sauces like Chick-fil-A sauce or Arby’s Bronco Berry sauce.

Can I Refrigerate Corn Dogs?

Frozen corn dogs don’t keep well because they are pre-cooked and then reheated in an air fryer. You can refrigerate them, but they will lose their texture. Cooked corn dogs are best eaten immediately.

Is there a gluten-free alternative for Corn Dogs?

Many brands make gluten-free corn dogs. Foster Farms and Applegate Naturals are two examples. There are many options available to meet any dietary restrictions. This recipe will work with your favorite corn dogs!

Can I make vegan Corn Dogs?

You can still enjoy this tasty meal with vegan corn dogs. Morning Star Farms or Field Roast makes delicious plant-based corn dogs, which can be used in this recipe.

Who is the inventor of Corn Dog?

Understandably, many want to be the corn dog inventor, as who wouldn’t love to be a US hotdog hero?

Although many people claim to have invented the deliciousness of hot dogs, no one can be held responsible. Brothers Neil and Carl Fletcher introduced the “corny dog” to the Texas State Fair in 1942. The people went wild! Although the Fletcher brothers thought their idea was unique, they weren’t the first to cook a corndog.

The earliest source we could find is husband and wife Versa and George Boyington; they claimed that they invented the corndog in Oregon’s Rockaway Beach in the 1930s.

George came up with the idea to make “buns” by coating the franks with a pancake batter mixture. His invention was called the Pronto Pup.

This Mango Jelly Recipe is a favorite of everyone. You can keep in your pantry and make delicious sandwiches for the busy back-to-school season. This jelly is made with vibrant mango and can be used as a fruit dip or sandwich topping.

I am always looking for healthier dessert recipes. I love keto mason jar ice cream and low-carb cocoa banana muffin. Both are delicious and great desserts.

Recently, however, I came across a recipe in an old cookbook for making jelly from scratch. I was intrigued by the amount of fruit it contained so I decided to give it a try. It does contain sugar, so it’s not low-carb, but it still provides all the nutrients and is delicious. 

So let’s jump into recipe, however, I would recommend you to read the full article for the best possible results.

Mango Jelly Recipe

I kept it simple as always. I’ve made this recipe a few times to be sure it is perfect. It turned out to be quite delicious. I used light syrup made from tinned mangos. If you don’t have it, you could use fresh mangos instead, and the volume can be increased by adding water. It’s very simple to make and takes only a few minutes. After it’s done, just place it in the fridge for a while.  

Is Mango Jelly Vegan-friendly

Gelatine is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians as it comes from an animal. You can find vegetarian alternatives in agar , and some vegetarian gelatine products at supermarkets.

The gelatine leaves were a lot easier to use than the gelatine paste I used before. It is easy to dissolve the gelatine leaves by soaking them in water for 5 minutes. Then, you can add it to warm liquid.

How to select a Mango

The United States has many mango varieties that have different growth sizes depending on seasons. 

You’ll find at least one of six main varieties of mangos in the grocery store throughout the year: Keitt and Kent, Honey, Francis, Tommy Atkins, as well as Haden.

Every mango variety has its own distinct flavor so try different types at different times of year. Each mango can differ in color, ranging from golden to green You shouldn’t rely solely on the mango’s color to tell if it is ripe. Instead, when you take it squeeze it a bit, and you should have a good sense if it’s ripe.

How to Make a Mango Jelly Sandwich

When it comes to sandwiches, there’s not much science. PB&J is an amazing combination. You just need two slices of bread and spread on the peanut butter and mango jelly.

However, if you or someone in your family has allergies to some foods, or is gluten intolerant, there are options to overcome this with nut-free or gluten-free options.

For gluten-free option, you’ll need to buy gluten-free bread. And for a nut-free option, you can substitute peanut butter with some other butter of your choice.
