Chicken

Asadong Manok

Asadong manok (chicken asado)  is made with chicken, soy sauce, tomato sauce, and lemon juice. It is one of the oldest Filipino stew recipes. Locals always compare this dish to our chicken afritada and the chicken cacciatore of Italy . The main difference is chicken asado is always tangy in taste. It is also different to pork asado which commonly has a sweet taste to it. Adding vegetables is optional, as well. We add bell peppers and potatoes to make the whole dish healthier and tastier. This dish is easy to prepare. It can also be made using a slow cooker by putting all ingredients in a pot and allowing it to simmer until chicken is done. In this recipe, we sear the chicken first. This method has been handed down from my mom.
