2 Lechon Manok Recipe with Sisig Rice
Lechon manok is the chicken version of the pork that we love to roast over red hot charcoal. The marinade is key to making this, and this includes calamansi juice, patis or fish sauce, garlic, and tanglad or lemongrass stuffed into the cavity along with the homemade sisig rice.
3 Garlic Roast Chicken Recipe
This roast chicken recipe delivers a super garlicky, butter-basted chicken. This is an easy recipe that is loaded with buttery garlic flavor that will infuse the chicken meat inside and out.
If you have an oven with a rotating spit or rotisserie, you're in luck. This handy feature of your oven will result in chicken that is more evenly cooked than if you just placed it in a baking dish. The continuous rotation of the spit is the key to this perfection. All you have to do is skewer the whole chicken with the spit, secure it by trussing it on the spit, and placing the drip tray or a baking pan under the chicken so any juices are collected.
4 Roasted Achiote Chicken Recipe
Achiote, atsuete, or annatto is responsible for the golden orange hue of this roast chicken recipe. However, that's not the only ingredient that makes this roast chicken so delicious. This Mexican-inspired chicken is packed with many ingredients that contribute to the overall flavor that you will taste. You'll taste notes of tangy, citrus flavors as well as garlic, herbs, and spices. If you love tasting complex flavors in your food, you might be delighted with what this roasted chicken has to offer.

7 Pinoy-style Fried Chicken Recipe
Also known as a resto favorite, this version of the fried chicken is free of any coating or breading. When it's fried, the chicken skin has the chance to become super crispy.

8 Korean Fried Chicken Recipe
The Korean fried chicken took the country (and the world) by storm a few years ago. Was it because of the double fry cooking method that ensured that the chicken is super crispy or the sweet soy sauce glaze that each piece was coated with? Whichever of these characteristics made this fried chicken an instant favorite that you might want at your table.
Saucy and Creamy Chicken Recipes
A chicken free of any sauce is not always the dish you want. If you want a sauce to accompany your chicken dish, one that's not a gravy, then these recipes should satisfy that desire.
9 Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce Recipe
Making a chicken and mushroom recipe is a classic combination that will lure anyone who loves creamy chicken recipes. While the mushroom sauce might be enough, remember you can do other things to the chicken to make it more appetizing.
You can season the chicken with more than just salt and pepper, such as herbs and spices that will make it more flavorful with or without the sauce. You can also grill the chicken instead of simply frying the chicken for more flavor, too.
10 Easy Chicken Pastel Recipe
This creamy boneless chicken dish is a combination of a creamy sauce loaded with chunks of chicken, chorizo, whole mushrooms, potatoes, and carrots. If you can get your hands on a can of water chestnuts to deliver a crunch to the dish even when cooked, add it in, too, for a classic version.
Feel free to top this creamy stew with a pie crust for that instant festive flair that elevates it from an ordinary party dish to one that's truly one to have a celebration for.
