FILIPINO-STYLE BARBECUE CHICKEN

This BBQ chicken is a quick and easy dish perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is marinated in a simple mixture of calamansi juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, fresh garlic, and pepper. We usually just fry the chicken for convenience sake but you can grill it over hot coals if you prefer. However way, the chicken comes out moist, flavorful and just amazing with steamed rice.
