Chicken Pandan

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chicken Pandan or Pandan Chicken is a delicious Thai chicken dish. Chicken pieces such as drumsticks, wings, and boneless breasts are marinated in a concoction of seasonings and spices then wrapped in Pandan leaves. This can be cooked in different ways: deep-frying, grilling, and baking.

Chicken Pandan Recipe

You might be wondering why the chicken pieces need to be wrapped in Pandan leaves. Aside from looking nice, Pandan leaves provide a sweet enticing aroma to the chicken which can increase your appetite level. Have you tried placing Pandan leaves when steaming rice? If you have, that is the same aroma that I’m talking about.

This Chicken Pandan recipe variation caters more to the Filipino taste; you can call this Pinoy Chicken Pandan, if you want.

The secret to a flavorful chicken or meat dish is the marinade. It is important that you let the chicken absorb all the flavors before starting to cook. I usually marinate the chicken overnight to infuse all the flavors.

Try this Pinoy Chicken Pandan recipe and let me know your thoughts.

Author Vanjo Merano

Ingredients

  • 6 pieces chicken wings small chicken drumsticks, or sliced boneless chicken breasts
  • 6 to 8 pieces fresh or fresh frozen Pandan leaves
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 thumb-size piece ginger minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or calamansi juice
  • 2 cups cooking oil

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, ground black pepper, garlic, ginger, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  • Put-in the chicken pieces in the bowl with the mixture and marinade for at least 3 hours. I always marinade meat overnight to absorb the flavors better. When marinating overnight, make sure to cover the bowl and refrigerate it to avoid contamination.
  • Wrap the chicken with Pandan leaves. This is done by taking a long leaf and start wrapping about 3 inches down the leaf until the chicken piece is covered. Wrap back from where you started and tie one end of the leaf to the other end until a knot is formed.
  • Heat a cooking pot and pour-in cooking oil.
  • When the oil is hot enough, deep fry the chicken until the color turns golden brown. You may also grill the chicken instead of frying it.
  • Turn-off heat and transfer the chicken to a serving plate.
  • Serve. Share and enjoy!

    Hi Chef Vanjo!

    I made this yesterday but I used pork instead. I just cut the pork thinner than the usual porkchop slices and marinade it overnight. It was a hit! Sabi pa nga ng mom ko tamang tama ang timpla.

    Thanks for the recipe!
