Ingredients

  • 1 (3 -4 lb) whole chickens, split in half
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup green onion, chopped
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice, adjust according to taste
  • 2 teaspoons salt, adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
  • 2 -4 habanero peppers, chopped, adjust to your taste
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated coconut meat, NOT THE SWEET BAKING KIND (optional)

Method

  • Prepare the bbq grill, either gas or charcoal. Lightly salt the split chicken. Grill the chicken until just done; do not overcook! Set aside to cool completely. Debone the chicken and then chop coarsely.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Adjust lemon juice and salt according to your taste. This can be eaten right away with warm corn tortillas. This dish is typically served as a side dish at chamorro fiestas and barbeques.
  • The traditional way adds fresh shredded coconut (NOT the baking kind). I prefer not to add it just for personal taste.
