Filipino-Style Barbecue Chicken - Food Wishes

Learn how to make what is the best barbecue chicken you've probably never had. The secret ingredient is banana ketchup, which I’m going to show you how to make also, and that alone makes watching this video more than worthwhile. Enjoy!

You made. Banana Ketchup. From Scratch. You absolute legend.

Edit: And the Sprite. Just like my dad marinates. Truly a proper Pinoy recipe.

I'm a filipino and I thought this was pretty simple. I did not expect you'd actually make the banana ketchup from scratch when even I don't know how to. Well done as always chef John!

Judging from the comments here, Chef, I’m pretty sure the Philippines will soon make a commemorative stamp with your picture on it! You have Filipinos on here in tears with joy.

“I actually teach people how to cook things!” Chef John
PURE GOLD quote!

We used this recipe. Grilling is troublesome, but overall it was worth it. My Filipino wife said "Thank you. This was 100% spot on. I can't get Filipino barbecue here in upstate NY, because I'm from California. So you really took me back to a place of joy." Except for making the Banana Ketchup. she ended up getting a bottle of banana ketchup :D

Nothing speaks summer living in the Philippines more than stopping somewhere with your motorcycle next to a barbecue stand in the afternoon, buying two sticks of nice pork and a softdrink. Thank you, Chef John.

As a Hispanic American Philippino food and culture absolutely hits home as another tropical part of the world massively influenced by Spanish colonialism. Lots of similar flavor profiles and just enough different from being Asia instead of the Caribbean or South America to be new and exciting every time I see a new recipe! Thank you for sharing Chef John and to all the Phillipino friends in the comments give me a recipe I should look up please!

“Or use banana peel vinegar if you have it. Which you don’t “ 😂 chef John is a national treasure. Definitely trying this recipe soon

I’m Filipino and I think this is barbecue gospel. Dark meat, soda and fundamental grilling technique. So glad I don’t need to make banana ketchup from scratch.

I knew you were gonna do Filipino food justice from the start, but the Sprite really was the cherry on top. I know this video would get my Lola’s seal of approval!

[TheLostAngel]

I see Chef John make Filipino food, I click. But what I didn't expect is for him to make actual banana ketchup from scratch and get it all right. Amazing!

[veronicalee]

I made this today for Father’s Day and it came out amazing. The Dad’s and other guests were delighted. Thank you Chef for helping me make another Delicious meal.

I tried this dish tonight. I did not have any 7up so I used some mango lemonade I had and it was so good. Everyone absolutely lived it.

Back in the early 80s as a kid, I used to get these at the Barrio Fiesta in Stockton along with family gatherings. It’s the main food next to the lechon for summer cooking. Since I moved away joining the Marines and going to college thereafter, I always reminisce about this. I had no idea how to make this. Thank you. Now my kids can experience this.

Folks, if you can't/don't like fish sauce, dissolve 2-4 small anchovy filets in a tbls of olive oil in a small skillet & use that, gives it umami flavor

I think it was my grandmother who told me that the 7-up/Sprite makes the meat juicy and tender.

I just had this 3 days ago, bought it from my favorite barbeque place, along with pork, chicken liver, and gizzard barbeque. Same sauce. Perfect on top of garlic fried rice. 👌

Dear Chef John,

I've been a follower of youe channel since forever thinking one day you will make me proud as a Filipino. Dreams do come true. 😭

[TsunamiWombat]

One of the more impressive things about Jon's channel is he's been at this literally over a decade (check the video backlog it goes back to 09 IIRC) and he keeps finding new recipes and techniques to try. I wonder if the research process is very laborious

[JadeMythriil]

For the lime, if you have access to some Philippine Lime or "Calamansi" you should definitely use that. It has a very strong kick to it but the sourness is definitely the best part of it we use it in alot of our seasoning for grilling and even as a condiment or "sawsawan" for grilled meat especiallymixed with some soy sauce.

Chef John, I am the fan who has never commented on your videos, but sings your praises to anyone who will listen. Your Guinness stew, stroganoff, etc, are staples in my home and have been for years. You have been such a huge influence on me for nearly a decade.

I made the Filipino bbq this week. “Just like Enrique Iglesias I DID know when to baste this.” Thanks to you of course.

My family went nuts in the best way possible and now I know how to make banana ketchup, which I never thought I would even attempt.

Thank you for the years of amazing content and all the lessons you have taught me.
