Chicken Halang-halang Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chicken Halang-halang is a Filipino chicken dish similar to ginataang manok.This dish has a hint of lemongrass, which makes it smell and taste fresh.

Chicken Halang-halang

I like my Chicken Halang-halang spicy, so I use more than enough chili flakes every time I cook one. You can also use bird’s eye chili (“siling labuyo”), Jalapeno, or Cayenne pepper.

This dish is guaranteed to tempt you to increase your rice intake. If you plant to stick with just a cup of rice, make sure that you condition yourself beforehand because chances are that you can give-in to your craving later-on.

 

How to cook Chicken Halang-halang

You will not have a hard time cooking Chicken Halang-halang because this is really a simple dish. Start by heating the cooking oil in a cooking pot — I use canola oil most of the time. Once the oil gets hot, it is time to saute our three commonly used ingredients: garlic, onion, and ginger.

You will know that the chicken is ready to be added once the onion starts to soften. Gently add the chicken pieces and then continue to cook one side until it turns brown. You can use tongs to check on these. Turn the chicken over to cook the other side and then pour the coconut milk. Let it boil and add the lemongrass, papaya, and chili. At this point, cover the cooking pot and set your heat to medium. We will need to cook the chicken further while extracting the flavor from the papaya and lemongrass.

Once the chicken is done, add ground black pepper, fish sauce (you may use salt as an alternative), and more chili, if preferred. Lastly, put the hot pepper leaves in. You can use malunggay leaves or even spinach as alternative ingredients.

    Hi Panlasang Pinoy. Thanks for this recipe! I love it! I did’nt use siling labuyo. I replaced it with siling pansigang.

      You are welcome. Siling pansigang works well too. In fact, I use it sometimes to make this dish when I don’t want it to be too spicy.
