Pinikpikan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pinikpikan is a dish from the mountains of the Cordillera region in the Philippines.[1]
It is prepared by beating a live chicken with a stick prior to cooking. The beating bruises the chicken's flesh, bringing blood to its surface, which is said to improve the flavour after cooking.[1] The act of beating the chicken, while done in preparation of the dish, violates the Philippine Animal Welfare Act 1998.[2]
