💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake, while tamari is often less expensive.

calamansi juice

🥗Healthier: lime juice

💰Cheaper: lemon juice

Lime and lemon juices provide similar acidity and flavor.

bay leaves

🥗Healthier: dried thyme

💰Cheaper: oregano

Thyme and oregano can enhance flavor without the cost of bay leaves.

Marinate the whole chicken in soy sauce, calamansi juice, minced garlic, onion, pepper, and bay leaves for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven or grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).

Stuff the chicken cavity with lemongrass, ginger, and green onions for added flavor.

Rub the outside of the chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the chicken on a roasting rack or directly on the grill.

Roast the chicken for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting occasionally with the marinade, until the skin is golden and crispy.

Check the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Serve with dipping sauce made from vinegar, soy sauce, and chopped onions.
