Many believe that chicken is one of the most versatile ingredients — and for good reason! You can fry, bake, boil, stew, steam, grill, and even make it into soup or pie.
These days, it’s also an ingredient that’s easy to source, making it the meat of choice now that visits to the supermarket or palengke are limited. The challenge, however, is for everyone to come up with all kinds of delectable dishes using chicken that the whole family will love.
While there are so many delicious recipes to try — both complex and easy — here are five that use ingredients and condiments you can easily find at the grocery.

3 Pinoy-Style Fried Chicken Recipe
Unlike most fried chicken recipes, the Pinoy-style version doesn’t use any kind of breading or batter. Yet, this doesn’t take away the fact that this pritong manok is as crispy and as flavorful as its breaded counterparts. The secret probably lies in the condiments. This recipe, for example, uses Datu Puti Fish Sauce (Patis) and calamansi juice in the marinade, which the chicken soaks up when marinated overnight.
For the dip, nothing beats the sweet-savory-spicy combo of Jufran Banana Catsup, Worcestershire sauce, and Jufran Hot Sauce.
