Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is a dish consisting of chicken pieces that is cut up then dipped in a breaded mixture,  dredged with flour, or battered and then pressure cooked, deep fried or pan-fried until it turns to golden brown.
There are many variations in cooking a perfect fried chicken. And one of them is by removing the skin before battering while others fry the chicken with either in butter, in special oils and even some use bacon grease or lard just to have that nice tasty fried chicken.

Tinolang Manok or Nilagang Manok

Tinolang Manok and some called them Nilagang Manok is another filipino food dish that I usually cook here in Canada. Tinolang manok recipe is also one of the filipino recipe that is easy to cook. But as a first time immigrant in Canada, buying filipino ingredients like papaya, sayote, chili leaves or malunggay is hard to find specially if you are staying in the rural areas where Asian store is hard to find.
But as you got familiar with the place you live in and knowing the nearby cities, acquiring this hard to find ingredients is not that difficult anymore, as I have taught before. Here, in Orangeville, Ontario, the nearest Asian store is located in Brampton, an hour drive with an average speed of 80km/hr, we have travel that far just to buy filipino food ingredients. Sometimes looking for substitute for the ingredient is another best option in cooking Filipino dish like instead of chili leaves I’ve substitute them with spinach for they are abundant here.
Cooking your favorite dish from a different country is challenging but enjoyable, especially when you are with your love ones. Enjoy and Happy Cooking!
