Kalderetang Manok, Chicken Kaldereta

Kalderetang Manok, Chicken Kaldereta. Kaldereta is not the usual way of cooking chicken, Pinoy chicken stews are normally cooked adobo, afritada or pininyahan. Of course chicken can also be cooked as kaldereta and it is equally tangy delicious if done right.

On my chicken kaldereta I used chicken wings, I find chicken wings the tastiest part and it’s ideal for my version of kaldereta. Other choice chicken parts can also be use or use the whole chicken. I used Mama Sita kaldereta mix, I always use this ready mixes, it made cooking trouble-free and has benefited most of us, the Overseas Pinoys and those of us who don’t have the luxury of time. Never the less the dish came out excellent, here is how I cooked it.
