Chicken Tocino

Are you looking for tasty heavy breakfast with pork tocino and fried rice with fried egg on the side? But you are pondering the guilt of eating pork meat again…….hmmm….I think a lighter version of  tocino is what you need and here it is, the chicken tocino. Very simple to make and only needs ingredients found in your kitchen pantry or a short distance to a small grocery store. There is also no complicated steps and cooking procedures to follow. Just mix the ingredients and cure the meat just like marinating the meat when preparing to marinate a chicken barbecue. Since this recipe is home made, I didn’t include curing salt or salitre which is used as a preservative to prolong the shelf life and if you are planning to sell it. The sugar and pineapple juice will serve as a curing agent and preservative as well.

      I made this before using oranges I got from the backyard and it was also great. Our residents really liked it, served with their leafy salad.

      How much annato powder do you put in the marinade?

      Hi! Gano katagal ang itinatagal nito before it goes bad? Pwede ba siya i-store for 1 week sa ref? I’m thinking of making this ahead para kapag nagustuhan ng mag tocino ay ipriprito na lang. Thanks!

        Hi Veronica, I’m not sure about the shelf life because it does not contain any preservatives like salitre. Only the sugar acts as a preservative. I think storing it in the freezer will prolong its shelf life for months.

      pwede ba ang chicken parts dito like drum stick/wings instead of breast lang? if yes, pano kaya ifry nang hindi sunog yung labas (dahil sa brown sugar) pero luto yung loob? boil din ba muna? Thanks!

        HI Tonz, yes it better to boil it first. Para luto agad yung loob ng chicken.

          Your site popped up when I searched for chicken tocino recipe. Since annato powder is not available I used paprika powder instead, marinated overnight and cooked by boiling method until the marinade was reduced to a thick sticky sauce. It turned out delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
