Proben

Proben, short for "Chicken Proven," is a popular street food in the Philippines, especially in the Pampanga region. It is essentially a Filipino version of chicken kebabs or skewers, often made from small, bite-sized pieces of marinated and grilled chicken.

To prepare Proben, small chicken pieces are typically marinated in a flavorful mixture that includes soy sauce, calamansi or lemon juice, garlic, and various spices. After marinating for some time, the chicken is threaded onto skewers and then grilled or roasted over open flames, resulting in a smoky and savory flavor.

Proben skewers are often served with a dipping sauce, which can vary but is commonly a combination of soy sauce, vinegar, and spices. The combination of tender, marinated chicken with the smoky char from the grill and the tangy sauce makes Proben a delicious and popular street food choice.

Proben can be found in various street food stalls, especially in the Pampanga region, where it is considered a local specialty. It's a savory and satisfying snack that showcases the rich and diverse flavors of Filipino cuisine.
