Roni Bandong

Picture
WINNING RECIPE!

This is the dish I cooked back in 2016 on 
Kristy Allsopp's Handmade Christmas which was hailed as the Best Alternative Christmas Dish. 

Relleno means stuffed and this dish takes time and effort but it is worth it!

  3. Stuff the chicken with the meat mixture. Place the hard boiled eggs in the middle of the cavity before adding more meat mixture on top
  4. Sew the ends and place on a roasting tin (use a rack. In place of sewing, you can try to use toothpicks to close the opening)
  5. Rub the skin with some butter and ground pepper. (If you are using non-salted butter, season the skin with a little salt. You can also use annatto butter or annatto oil to baste)
  6. Place the chicken on a rack and cover with foil. 
  7. Place the chicken in the oven and roast for 45 minutes. Collect the drippings
  8. Remove the foil and roast for a further 20-30 minutes or until the juices run clear and internal temperatures reach abut 75°C. While the chicken continues to cook, make your basting sauce. 
  9. Place the drippings in a small pan and add the other ingredients until it turns red in color. Remove from heat. Remove the annatto seeds.

Dipping Sauce: 
  1. In a small sauce pan, pour a jar of RoniB’s Kitchen Adobo Sauce, and reduce on medium-high heat until it reaches a saucy consistency. You can also thicken the sauce using a cornflour slurry once it is slightly reduced.  Just mix 1 tsp cornflour with 1 tbsp water in a bowl and add in the pan until the sauce thickens.
