Chicken balut refers to a fertilized chicken egg that is incubated for a certain number of days, typically between 14 to 21 days, before being boiled and eaten. This dish is similar to the more commonly known balut made from duck eggs, a popular street food in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia.
What is Balut?
Balut is considered a delicacy and is often enjoyed with a pinch of salt, vinegar, or sometimes even with chili and garlic. The egg contains a partially developed embryo, and it is eaten whole, including the embryo, yolk, and the amniotic fluid, which is usually sipped first.
Chicken vs. Duck Balut
Chicken Balut: Less common than duck balut, but it is consumed in a similar way. The taste is often described as richer and sometimes slightly gamier than duck balut.
Duck Balut: More popular and widely available, especially in the Philippines. Duck eggs have a stronger flavor and a larger embryo, which many balut enthusiasts prefer.
Eating Experience
The experience of eating balut, whether chicken or duck, is as much about the texture as it is about the flavor. The combination of the tender embryo, the rich yolk, and the slightly salty fluid creates a unique culinary experience.
Balut is often eaten as a snack or street food, and it is also sometimes consumed with alcoholic beverages, making it a popular choice in late-night food stalls.
