The second chicken dish I cooked up today is Chicken Tinola. It’s funny that the dining table is full of chicken dishes. Yesterday, it was full of pork! Seems like I have a protein theme this weekend. Anyhow, I want to make sure that we have both a soup and a main in our meal so that’s where the balance is😜

I only have chicken thighs in the fridge but usually for chicken tinola, cooks put both thighs and legs. I’ll do that next time. For now, chicken thighs is sufficient.

Thanks , your recipes are traditionally Filipino . Like what I’ve grown up to with my mom and aunties .I like Edie silly that you have grouped chicken dishes or pork together . Because sometimes my repertoire of dishes sometimes get stymied when I am faced with decisions on what to cook based on what is available in tne freezer . All chicken . All pork . All meat .
Pls edit two mistyped words in that sentence …..I like especially that you grouped chicken recipes together . Maybe next time you can grouped pork , meat , fish . Veggies together .
