baked sea salt chicken & pinaupong manok

This picture literally speaks a thousand nom nom nom! Really yummy all the way I look and ogle at it that I wanted to cook my next whole-chicken dish like it. I usually roast or bake chicken with the usual mixes and spices and trimmings but I have yet to try just plain salt, rock salt, sea salt (the famous sea salt in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte comes to mind) as a sort of make over. I'm using salt for my whole-chickens but only when I steam them, making them "sit" down on a bed of salt (pinaupong manok). Now, this sea salt chicken recipe is a challenge!

guacamole

I love avocados, yes, simply with sugar--you'll just have to halve the ripe fruit, remove the seed, put in sugar in the hollowed core, and eat it in spoonfuls. Of if you prefer, pour in some condensed milk or cream in it. Or blend it in a food processor for a refreshing smoothie. Or dice it into your salads.

I have yet to try pretending to be a Mexican with guacamole to go with tacos or tortillas, though. This definitely is worth a try! Looks so good and really appetizing!
