Pork and Chicken Menudo

Pork and Chicken Menudo. I have received a lot of queries if we could use chicken instead of pork for our menudo. Of course the answer is definitely yes. I have always thought that I have already posted a Chicken Menudo version, but unfortunately I have not yet. For those who are looking for the recipe just hold on I will be doing one soon.

Today I am sharing my version of Pork and Chicken Menudo. For the chicken ingredient I used chicken thighs and chicken liver. Fort the pork and chicken ratio I have used 1:1, 1/2 kilo pork and 1/2 kilo chicken thighs, and 1/4 kilo pork liver and 1/4 kilo chicken liver. All the other ingredients are the same with the usual Pork Menudo, in fact if you have your own special menudo recipe you can use it, just substitute some of the pork with chicken. It may not be the same pork and chicken ratio as my Pork and Chicken Menudo, use whatever ratio you want. You can also omit the chicken liver ingredient if you do not like chicken livers.
