If you are always on the go or you have kids, you should learn alot of quick and easy cooking recipes. Not all quick recipes attract the palates of the children so make sure it's inviting, not only delicious but also healthy food.

Rotisserie or Grilled Chicken

One Pinoy favorite is the Grilled or Rotisserie Chicken, often called " Lechon manok"
This recipe I am going to share can be cooked over charcoal or in the turbo broiler. Just make sure you turn the chicken every now and then to make sure it is equally cooked.
