HOW TO COOK CHICKEN PAELLA (PAELLANG MANOK)


How To Cook Chicken Paella (Paellang Manok) –This dish is another Filipino traditional dish but not originated from the Philippines. This dish has been cooked in many ways and procedures but not many main ingredients have been liked to use for this dish because it is complicated. I have posted my other Paella recipe days ago and now we are going to cook the other which is cooked with Chicken and I think most of us would prefer to cook this Chicken Paella because chicken is cheaper than the Shrimp. I have eaten many kinds of Paella and I can say that I liked all of them maybe because the chefs cooked these Paellas very good. There are numerous ingredients used in cooking this dish and that is the problem why not many of us don’t cook Paella. In my town, I can only eat this dish at the restaurant not including our home and the price is so steep so I thought I should share this recipe so that some of us can cook their own Paella without spending too much for the ingredients. Here is how to cook Chicken Paella (Paellang Manok):
