How to Cook Chicken Asado - Recipe and Tutorial

What's Chicken Asado?

Chicken Asado or Asadong Manok is a authentic Filipino chicken dish that originally came from the province of Pampanga. This dish uses very basic and simple ingredients and is not very complicated to prepare and cook. Aside from it's awesome taste chicken asado is usually reddish or dark in color because of Chinese Cuisine influence. My special chicken asado recipe uses tomato sauce for the base ingredient.

When I first tried this dish I thought that it's only an ordinary dish but as soon as the fork left my mouth i got hooked. The sweet and sour taste is so rich and tasty so it got curious what's the ingredients are and recreate this dish.
