Hi to everyone… in Zamboanga del Sur we called it Chicken Bisaya. Some tips for bisaya manok eater… if it is for barbecue, the weight should be .8 to 1.2 kg only to have a tender and juicy meat….. another recipe here is the ‘TINIBUOK”. Place the whole ready to cook chicken in a pressure cooker with enough water and spices like green onion, bulb onion, ginger, little of black pepper, and tanglad… boil until soft and tender… serve hot… woww..
Another is the grilled chicken with coconut milk… grill the bisaya chicken then slice into bite size. Prepare the spices/ingredients like bulb onion, garlic, green onion, black pepper, ginger, and sweet pepper. Cook the ingredients with coconut. When the coconut milk w/ the ingredients boils place immediately the sliced grilled chicken and mix thoroughly then serve hot…. and enjoy eating…………….

hi mila! you know i was thinking if naive would make a good roast too bec. of its tough meat. but i think the solution thereis to precook it first, tingin ko lang ha? sa blog kasi ni pinoy cook, she steams the chicken before deep-frying it ala max. i think for the native chicken, you have to brine it first,or soak it in water-salt-sugar solution for about an hour or so, drain and pat dry. coat the chicken in and out with marinade mix or dry rub. pre-cook by steaming, and when the flesh is a bit tender, baste it with the marinade mix then grill/broil/roast.
hope this helps.

Angelbride: Here’s a suggestion…I live in the Northwest. I’ve seen people plant banana trees here and they flourish in the summer. Come winter time, they wrap their trees in burlap. I’ve also seen people put like a cold frame over their tropical trees planted outside. …or you could plant your malunggay in a big decorative pot…bring it indoorswhen the weather gets cold…BUT before you bring it inside, just douse the plant with 3 to 4 drops of liquid detergent in 1 liter of water. Use a spray bottle….causes those bugs to go to the bathroom!!!!…they will leave your plant alone!!!!

Angelbride: Like Isagada says…you can start with a cutting. If you accesss to one, make a side diagonal cut about 1 to 2 cm. just to expose the sides and dip it first in a rooting hormone which can be bought in any garden store. Then prepare a conatainer with good clean soil like for starting seedlings. Oh, strip the cutting of its leaves. When you see growth starting form the nodes…you are on your way to having hopefully malunggay. When it is firmly established….prepare the site in your backyard..sunniest spot, good drainage like Isagada says and PLANT AWAY…Good Luck!!!

angelbride: what’s wrong? malunggay can grow anywhere so long as you have a well composted soil and good drainage. you can start with a seedling or a cutting…. it also needs lots of water until it establishes its own roots….. if you have an Indian (as in sub-continent, edited by MM :)) friend, do ask them for help in propagating the malunggay. they use it as a herbal medicine.
