Chicken relleno is actually stuffed chicken but the only difference is the chicken is deboned. Deboned in a sense that only the bones are removed but the chicken meat is still intact. Unlike the rellenong bangus where only the skin, head and tail remains and stuffed with deboned and flaked fish meat and mixed with other stuffing ingredients.

Cooking this dish is best suited for special occasions because the procedure involve is a little tedious. Deboning the chicken requires some patience and also stuffing it with meat mixture that you have to insure that the chicken is well sewn so the contents won’t spill.

  Traditionally, it calls for steaming the stuffed hen. Then when ready to serve, fry till the desired colored is achieved.
