Chicken Asado, Asadong Manok

Chicken Asado, Asadong Manok
Chicken Asado, Asadong Manok is not the usual beef or pork asado. The recipe calls for the use of tomato sauce. In fact it is similar to chicken afritada. Cooking is fairly simple except for the frying of the marinated chicken and sautéing part everything is just stewing until done. As I mentioned because of the similarity with afritada it is most of the time mistaken as afritada. Chicken asado is more of a brownish red in color because of the use of more soy sauce.

Chicken afritada in more of redish orange color. See the post here. This is one of the best Pinoy chicken dishes I ever had and it is highly recommended should you want an alternative from your usual chicken adobo.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup kalamansi juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
2 medium size onion, chopped
1/2 head garlic, minced
4 potatoes, quartered
3 pc. bay leaf
salt and pepper
cooking oil

Cooking procedure:

    Hey Noel! Tried this recipe for my pugo bird (6 pcs. from Chinese store) and it turned out great! I modified it a bit by adding saffron and soy sauce during the actual cooking. Thanks for this recipe and more power to your blogsite! I'll post it tonight (Asadong Pugo).

    Hi Lee,
    I’m glad you have finally made your pugo (bird) dish, judging from your photo it sure look delectable as well. Now I believe pugo would also make a good spicy kaldereta.

    Hi ghie1028882,
    Yong afritada ay may bell pepper, while yong asado ay mas maraming ginamit na soy sauce.
