Next, Kami started talking about the ingredients needed for the Max's style roasted chicken recipe. This includes a whole chicken, three tablespoons of vegetable oil, one tablespoon of ground black pepper, four cloves of garlic, one quarter of an onion, three bay leaves, one bunch of green onions, one stalk of lemongrass, water for boiling the chicken, and salt to taste.
She also offered helpful tips to make the chicken even tastier, for example, pounding the lemongrass before inserting it inside the chicken. Then they submerged the chicken in water, added the remaining ingredients, and boiled it for 20 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Rommer joined in, helping evenly saturate the chicken with Datu Puti Patis for maximum flavor. In a separate saucepan, they heated three tablespoons of oil and heated it enough for frying. The result was a beautifully golden brown roasted chicken, perfectly complemented by ideal Filipino sauces. During the taping, Kami prepared two dipping sauces for the chicken: Mang Tomas All-Purpose Sarsa and UFC 'Tamis Anghang' Banana Sauce.
With Datu Puti Patis in hand, Kami shared that she adds three tablespoons of fish sauce to enhance the flavor of the roasted chicken, allowing it to absorb the umami. The cooking show NutriAsia "Masarap at Masayang Kwentuhan with NutriAsia" will begin in 2025 with a celebration when host Rommer Tesado welcomes special guest Kami Manalo to showcase delicious Filipino cuisine - Max's style roasted chicken.
Before starting the preparation, Rommer asked Kami, the novelist and new mom, about her marriage and how she cooks for her husband. Both sauces added the perfect touch of sweetness that beautifully complemented the meat's flavor of the chicken.

After 20 minutes, they carefully removed the chicken from the boiling water, dried it, and also removed the lemongrass from inside. "Everything seems very new," Kami shared.
