Chicken and Mojos

I like Chicken and Mojos of Shakey's so we tried to make one at home.  You just need Chicken, Potatoes,Crispy Fry, Egg and other spices and Voila! :)

Chicken Lollipop

Chicken lollipop is an hors d’œuvre or appetizer dish that is made from the middle and sometimes inner segments of chicken wings. The middle segment has one of the two bones removed, and the flesh on the segments is pushed to one end of the bone. These are then coated in a batter and deep fried. In the Philippines, it is considered as a main dish and is prepared in a simpler manner than the chicken lollipop dishes of India and other countries.

I tried it last night for our dinner and I just used chicken lollipops in a pack so I didn't have to cut and loosened the meat to shape it like a lollipop.

10 pieces chicken wings
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 pieces raw eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
cooking oil

1. Season the chicken lollipops with salt and pepper and let it stand for at least 15 minutes.

2. Crack the eggs and transfer to a bowl then whisk.

3. Gradually add-in the all-purpose flour while whisking until a batter is formed.

4. Dip the chicken lollipop on the batter then to the bread crumbs.

5. Heat oil in a cooking pot then deep-fry the chicken lollipop under medium heat until the color of the outer part turns medium brown ( about 8 to 10 minutes ).

6. Remove the fried chicken lollipop from the cooking pot and transfer to a dish with paper towel. Let it stand until excess oil is absorbed by the paper towel.

7. Serve with your favorite dip. Share and enjoy!

Turbo Chicken with Fresh Garlic and Rosemary

We prepared this dish in our Nutrition and Food Safety and Basic Food Preparation and Presentation month - Day 2 ( Caregiver Training ).

The ingredients for this recipe are simple and procedure is easy to follow. This dish exudes a wonderful aromatic flavor.

2 whole chickens
1 head garlic, pounded
1 tablespoon coarse salt (add more if needed)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fried minced garlic (optional)


1. Split chickens into half length-wise, then pound to flatten. In a small bowl mix the garlic, salt, and pepper and rub thoroughly inside and outside the chickens. Put fresh rosemary sprigs inside the cavities.

2. Rub olive oil all over the skin and sprinkle some dried rosemary leaves on top. Allow to stand for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F.

3. Arrange the chicken pieces in a pan lined with foil. Bake in over or turbo broiler for 45 minutes, ir until done, turning the chicken pieces every 15 minutes and basting them with fat and cooking juices that collect in the pan.

4. Or, if not in a hurry, bake chickens in 325F over for 1 hour on one side and another hour for the other side, skin side up, basting occasionaly with the pan juices, for more tender chickens.

5. Arrange on a serving platter, and sprinkle fried garlic on top. Pour pan juices over the chickens before serving.

6. If desired serve with roasted potatoes.




* In our preparation, we prefer not to split the chicken into half when we baked it just for the sake of our presentation. :)
