YUM!

On a recent trip to Chamorro Village we ate at Jamaican Grill and had an awesome appetizer! Chicken Kelaguen.

SInce not everyone can dine on such an awesome meal I attached a recipe I found that should be pretty close to the real thing!

Finadene Sauce

• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup lemon juice
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 5 hot peppers, finely chopped

Chicken

• 1 whole broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
• 1 fresh coconut
• lemon juice
• 4 green onions, finely chopped
• 3 hot peppers, finely chopped
• 4 -6 pita bread

Directions:

• Mix soy sauce with lemon juice. Add finely chopped onion and peppers. Let sit a few days in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend.
• Open the coconut and discard the liquid inside. Grate the coconut meat. After the coconut is grated, pick it up in your hands and squeeze it over a bowl to collect the milk. Mix the milk with an equal amount of lemon juice and chill.
• Marinate the chicken in the Finadene sauce overnight. Grill/broil the chicken, basting with the sauce. After it is done, cool the chicken, debone and shred it.
• Mix the green onions, peppers, and coconut meat to the chicken. Slowly mix the coconut milk and lemon juice into the chicken, stirring well.
• Serve warm on fried home made tortillas. 
• Optional: Fruit salad on the side
