Pinatatasang Manok (Bone-in Chicken with Potatoes)

Pinatatasang Manok (Bone-in Chicken with Potatoes) This recipe reminds me of my mother a lot because this is one of the dishes she prepared for us while growing up. Easy, flavorful, and economical, it feeds a family of 8 that’s tight on a budget.

Although you can use boneless chicken breast, using bone-in chicken cuts is best for richer flavor. The addition of potatoes gives an earthy taste to the dish at the same time thickens the sauce a little making it perfect to drizzle over rice when served.

This is one of my favorite chicken recipes for its simplicity and convenience . I hope you’ll give it a try. 🙂
