I'm finally cooking Pinaupuang Manok (also called Pinadapang Manok/ Flattened chicken in my version π
). Traditionally, this dish is cooked with the chicken standing upright over a can, making it look like it's sitting. Since I don't have a pot tall enough for that, I had to lay the chicken flat instead. π
It takes about 2 hours to cook, so it should be ready before 6 PM just in time for an early dinner. I'm using only a regular pot and a gas stove, starting with medium heat and then lowering it to a gentle simmer.
It's been such a long time since I last had Pinaupuang Manok, so I'm definitely going to enjoy it!
