Sinigang na manok is a Filipino favorite you can always count on to delight and comfort your family. It’s not as heavy as its pork and beef counterparts but it promises the same soothing linamnam. Plus, it takes less time to prep – no need to wait for your meat to tenderize. But if you want to surprise your loved ones with something extra special, try a different cooking method. In this recipe, you’ll learn how to cook sinigang na manok in the oven.
Instead of simmering the chicken in the sour soup, you’ll marinate the cuts in sinigang mix before roasting. But like classic sinigang, this dish comes together in a single vessel, and you can leave it alone to cook while you tidy up in the kitchen. How convenient is that? Gather your ingredients for this one-of-a-kind chicken featuring crisp, golden skin and ultra-soft, juicy meat.
