How to cut chicken
-
Place the whole chicken on a flat surface and remove tail. Pull the chicken leg away from the breast and cut through the leg joint.
-
Make a hard chop to separate the thigh and the drumstick and further chop into 4–5 parts. Repeat the same process for the other leg.
-
Bend the wing backwards, exposing the joint, and cut through it. Chop to separate the dingettes and drummettes. Repeat for the other wing.
-
Cut the breast in half through the soft bone. Cut each side of the breast into 4–5 parts then cut the remaining ribcage into 4–5 parts.
Afritada
-
Marinate the cut chicken in the soy sauce and calamansi for 10–15 minutes.
-
In a pan, heat the oil and fry the carrots and potatoes. Once browned, remove them from the pan and set aside. Using the same pan, sear the marinated chicken to brown.
-
Add the garlic, onion, laurel leaves, tomato sauce and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked halfway through.
-
Add the bell peppers then season with the fish sauce and black pepper. Add the Emborg Garden Peas and cook for a further 10 minutes.
-
Add most of the Parmesan, reserving the rest of the cheese for topping, and stir for 1–2 minutes.
-
Transfer to a serving dish and top with the remaining Parmesan. Enjoy!
