Chicken Sisig

 

Sisig aside being a dinner dish is also is a favorite "Pulutan" by most Filipinos during drinking session especially if it is served sizzling hot.      

There are several varieties of Sisig.  It can be pork, squid, bangus, tofu and chicken.

What I prepared today is Chicken Sisig.  This is the most favorite sisig of my family as it contains lesser fat compared to it's pork counterpart.  

The chicken liver on the other hand gives additional flavor to the recipe.

Common preparation is using sizzling plate that gives a more palatable food presentation.  The aroma and sizzling presentation is so inviting that you would not resist this dish.

However, for this recipe preparation is done by ordinary pan cooking.  But this does not lessen the delicious taste of chicken sisig.
