This looks amazing! Judging by the ingredients, I am all in! It is something that many of the people in my family love, or at least the blending of the flavors. You have such a unique talent for being able to judge what works well together. Perhaps unique is the wrong word, but, it is mighty fine! :)
I see you used drumsticks and I find them to be easier to handle, but, after years of using white meat in chicken, I have finally decided that chicken thighs have more flavor! I am such a slow learner, so I may try them first.
Like oyster sauce and so many other things in the culinary world, shrimp paste is not like eating shrimp. For those western people that have never had it, it's cool! Try it! I can hardly wait to try it.
I want to thank you for being such a positive force on Hive! We love you!!!
Hey @dswigle! So nice of you to drop by. My favorite part is breast. All meat and rarely any bone! Haha
But at times, I use thigh part, too.
You're on point! Shrimp paste or what we call bagoong is something we eat as a side dish here in the Philippines. There are times, it's the main dish. Haha The one I used is sweet and spicy, imagine the play of flavors here. Wishing you luck in trying this dish! Trust me, you'll love this dish! ππ
Haha! I should have said that I think thigh meat has perhaps more flavor, but, I prefer the beast meat. The rest of the family likes thigh meat. I think it is a fattier part of the chicken. I didn't check that fact. :)
Thanks for that! I am always experimenting with the different pastes that come out of Asia. They add complex flavors and much yumminess!
Chili paste on everything!!! :)
