Chicken Binakol

Posted on: March 21, 2011 by:Vanjo Merano | Updated on: September 2, 2018

Chicken Binakol is a delicious chicken soup dish. It is similar to Chicken Tinola, although the use of of coconut meat and coconut water makes this dish unique.

Chicken-Binakol1

Traditional methods of cooking Chicken Binakol requires native chicken simmered for several hours. The meat of native chicken is tougher than regular dressed chicken, but it has more flavor. Simmering native chicken longer makes the meat tender and releases all the flavors.

Did you know that original chicken binakol is cooked in bamboo? It is said that cooking this dish in bamboo seals-in the flavor, but it is fine if you don’t have a bamboo to cook this with. You can always use your trusted cooking pots.

I like this dish because the flavors are balanced. The addition of coconut water and coconut meat adds sweetness.

There are two ways to add flavor to this dish if you are not using native chicken. The first is to use chicken broth — as written in this recipe. The second way is to use about 2 cups of rice washing and a piece of chicken bouillon. It is up to you to decide.
