Ingredients

How to make it

  • Rub 3 tablespoons of salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper all over the chicken. Make sure that you also rub the seasonings in the chicken cavity for optimal flavor. Let it stay for 15 minutes.
  • Stuff the lemongrass and leeks inside the chicken.
  • Arrange the remaining salt on the cooking pot by spreading it to cover space.
  • Place the banana leaf on top of the salt.
  • Place the chicken over the banana leaf. Note: I use a small can of tomato sauce to help the chicken securely sit. Simply insert the can in the cavity.
  • Turn the heat on to medium and steam for 80 to 90 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the cooking pot and transfer to a serving plate.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce composed of fish sauce and lemon or calamansi.
  • Share and enjoy!
