Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Annatto powder
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, brown sugar, minced garlic, soy sauce, cider vinegar, salt, pepper, paprika, and annatto powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
After marinating, divide the meat mixture into small portions and shape them into logs or patties, about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the chicken longanisa to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly browned.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the longanisa simmer for about 15-20 minutes. The steam will cook the inside thoroughly while keeping the sausages moist.
Once the water has evaporated, remove the lid and continue to cook the longanisa. Allow them to brown and caramelize in their own oils for another 5 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through.
Serve the dairy-free chicken longanisa hot with garlic rice or as a savory addition to any meal. Enjoy!
