Fried Lechon Manok is a Filipino dish that combines the rich flavors of roasted chicken with a crispy fried twist. Traditionally, Lechon Manok is marinated in a savory blend of garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and a mix of native spices before being roasted, but the fried variation adds an extra crunch to its texture. While the chicken provides a good source of protein, the frying process increases the calorie and fat content, making it less ideal for those seeking lower-fat options. The dish is deeply rooted in Filipino cuisine and is often enjoyed as a celebratory meal or street food. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or a light side dish can help balance its nutritional profile, while opting for air-frying or oven-baking can reduce its fat content. Despite its indulgent nature, the flavorful marinade and cultural significance make Fried Lechon Manok beloved across the Philippines.
