Rellenong Manok is a festive Filipino festive dish which is basically a roasted stuffed chicken but something is special here, it is boneless. Yes you’ve read it right it is boneless but only in the cavity, wings and legs still have its bones in tact. Now you might ask why the chicken still looks intact? Well because it’s full of stuffing and the way it was deboned which is a painstaking process. There are two methods one is by cutting the chicken in the breast side, removing the bones and sewing them back together another would be removing the bones by hands carefully from the cavity without cutting the chicken, I used the second method. It was hard but you will feel accomplished if you’ve done it the right way.

The stuffing also is not similar to the stuffing used in roast chicken as this is meant to be consumed with rice hence it if filled with minced meats, bread crumbs, chorizo, egg, chorizo, carrots, green peas, pickles and other spices. Think of it as meatloaf or embutido stuffed roasted boneless chicken, it’s the best of both recipes.

A very good dish to serve during the New Year hence we are also sharing this recipe in World in a Plate monthly potluck.
