Abstract: This research endeavour was a continuing product development consists of 5 studies (phases) namely: Study 1, Standardization of High Value Empanada with Darag Native Chicken Filling; Study2, Acceptability of High Value Empanada with Darag Native Chicken Filling; Study 3, Shelf-Life of High Value Empanada with Darag Native Chicken Filling; Study 4, Proximate Analysis of High Value Empanada with Darag Native Chicken Filling; and Study 5, Packaging and Labelling of High Value Empanada with Darag Native Chicken Filling. This study employed trial and error method to standardize the recipe. After series of kitchen trials, two standardized recipes (Formulation A and Formulation B) were developed and then subjected to Hedonic test for acceptability in terms of color, aroma, texture, taste, and general acceptability using Complete Randomized Block Design (CRD). The study had found that Formulation A containing 500 grams Darag native chicken is the most acceptable product in terms of the identified sensory parameters. The product has 3 days shelf life at room temperature (30 degrees Celcius), 10 days at chilling temperature (10 degrees Celcius), and 30 days shelf life at freezing temperature (0-4 degrees Celcius). Proximate analysis revealed that 100 grams of High Value Empanada has: 31.7 grams moisture, 1.08 grams crude ash, 6.16 grams crude protein, 20.5 grams total fat, 40.6 grams carbohydrate, and 372 Kcal/100 grams of sample. The product was labelled La Maria’s Darag Native Chicken Empanada and packed in glassine paper as inner package and clay coated paperboard utility box package. Based from the results it was concluded that Darag Native Chicken is aesthetically and economically acceptable, very nutritious and can compete with other snack items in the market today. Darag Native Chicken Empanada is highly recommended for commercialization and mass production.
