This is a favorite dish in the Philippines. The smells coming from your kitchen will make everyone's mouth water! You can use a whole chicken or whatever parts you like to use. I like to use boneless thigh because to me it is one of the best cuts of the chicken for flavor. You can use rice or vegetables as a side or put them on tortillas with an assortment of goodies. Let your mind explore and have fun with this amazing dish!

    Remove chicken from the pot to a serving plate. Strain the liquid from the pot to remove all the food particles, and set aside. Serve chicken hot over steamed rice and drizzle with reserved sauce.
