Pinatisang Manok
Pinatisang Manok or chicken cooked in fish sauce is a simple chicken dish that resembles Chicken Tinola in some way. This is one of the traditional Filipino dishes that our grand parents enjoy during their time.
Since this is a very simple recipe, they say that this dish is can be enjoyed more if fresh native chicken is used. I believe that this is true because native chicken is much tastier than the usual chicken sold in the grocery; although you need to add more cooking time to tenderize the meat.
Have you cooked this dish before? To tell you the truth, this is just my fifth time making this dish (as far as I can remember). I usually cook Pinatisang Manok whenever I want to day dream about the countryside and the simple life that it has to offer. Isn’t it better to enjoy a simple life free from stress?

U can get bacon fat from bacon itself,just heat a non stick pan and put ur bacon in there and let it sit til fats come out.. For chicken broth,u can make ur own by boiling a whole chicken with lots of herb or u can buy them from grocery store..
