Ever since I was introduced to creamy and spicy gising gising<\/a> and Bicol Express<\/a>, I've been on the lookout for other dishes that share the same big, bold flavors. I am so excited to discover chicken halang halang and add it to my list of favorites on the blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is halang-halang<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Halang-Halang is a Visayan dish, which literally means \"spicy, spicy.\"  Although similar to tinolang manok<\/a> in its use of ginger and papaya, it has added heat from chili peppers, a hint of citrusy flavor from lemongrass, and richness from coconut milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most dishes, there are different ways to make halang halang. While the recipe below is more popular in the Cebu region, other versions are flavored with soy sauce and vinegar instead of coconut milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
