Chicken Mechado by mhelchoice Strategic Mom

Hello, brothers, welcome to our kitchen. If your mother is a truly virtuous one. Today, I would like to share with you my version of Chicken Mixado. Yes, guys, one of the requests from my followers is that we can serve this as a takeout, prepping, and of course, profit-making dish. Because your sauce, which mixes sweetness with genuine sourness, will surely make your mouth pucker when served. Let's not delay any longer. I will now show you the ingredients we will need for our Chicken Mixado. So, guys, these are the ingredients we need. We're marinating our chicken, so we're having a snack. First of all, we have one kilo and two strips of chicken. This is a whole chicken. You may choose whether you want all jita, all picho, or all pakpak. So, NASA, whatever part of the chicken you want to use. As for our appetizer, we have this, right here, since we're marinating now. We have one third cup of soy sauce. Ayan, any brand of soy sauce, mga manay. Then we will add 2 tablespoons of calamansi juice. Lemon can also be used if you don't have calamansi where you are. Then we have 1 teaspoon of ground pepper. Ayan. So we need to marinate this to make it tastier. I'm also adding 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce. Any brand, mga manay. That one is optional, okay. Now, if you don't want oyster sauce, you can simply skip adding it. Ayan. Because we're putting in garlic. Six cloves of garlic, please. I included the skin. Because it's extra aroma, those guys. 2 medium-sized Tagalog onions You may use white. Then we will place 3 pieces of laurel leaf. Ayan. So let's break it like this so our laurel's aroma can spread more, my friends. Ayan. Then we'll just massage it. So we need to marinate this, guys. At least 30 minutes. It's just a chicken we're marinating, after all. But if you like, maybe pork. For better results, marinate it for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. To make the mixture more flavorful. But since chicken is our tool. You know that chicken gets tender pretty quickly. It's easy to cook. We don't need to marinate this any longer. Even 30 minutes or 1 hour is fine. Ayan. So let's marinate it this way so the seasoning can really stick to the meat of our chicken. After this, we will let it sit for 30 minutes. Ayan. Cover it with plastic wrap or you can place it in the chiller. While we're marinating this, guys, let's also pray over our vegetables. Now, our offering will be our potatoes. So, a few slices of potatoes and three slices of carrots. We also have red bell peppers. Ayan. Two pieces of medium size. You can use green, yellow, and bell peppers to make your michado more colorful. What we're going to do now is cook our rice in our pot on the stove. Let's apply this before we put on our oil. It's already hot, so I'll add 1 quart of our cooking oil. So we need to wash our vegetables thoroughly so they don't become soggy or watery once our minced meat dish is cooked. So let's chop up our carrots. So, guys, when it starts to get a little golden brown mark, We don't really need to bother him, do we? We can get that right here from our kitchen. Let's cook our potatoes now. Ayan, it's okay now with our patatas. So we can take it from our kitchen here, okay. Next, we will plant our bell pepper. For our red bell peppers, we don't need to fry them longer because they will burn and turn black. So we just need at least 1 minute, okay, for our bell pepper. We can immediately remove it from our inventory. We can also remove this here. Ayan. We'll just wait for the remaining half hour while we let our chicken soak. Let's start cooking continuously. Now, my dear, after half an hour, we can finally fry our chicken. Anyway, we need to lightly fry this here in our pan that we already used for frying earlier. I only reduced the oil because the chicken will naturally release its own oil anyway, since it's stuffed. So simple, we just need to open our oven. Ayan. So let's just wait for it to heat up, and then slowly place each piece of our chicken one by one. So we don't need to include what he's been arguing about anymore. In the end, we will put that in our cooking. It's already hot now, so let's slowly proceed to avoid getting burned. I know many of you are wondering why we still need to fry the chicken when we could just boil it whole, making our mechado cook much faster. Hey guys, this is my version—truly delicious and flavorful, especially when grilled, because that's when our chicken stays intact and doesn't break apart when cooked, since it's already fried. The marinade is clinging tightly to the meat of the chicken we prepared earlier. So simple, just that. Now we've just finished cooking our chicken. Guys, it's so easy. Let's just let it rest for at least 5 minutes before we start cutting it one piece at a time. Now, guys, just a few minutes ago, this is the color we need to achieve for our chicken. Ayan, just a little bit of brown, and let's slowly remove it one by one from our pan. After that, we will again use our onions and garlic, but what we will use is the onions and garlic already placed in the colander so nothing goes to waste. And the flavor and taste of our blend are exquisite. Now we will proceed alone. So this is our onion and garlic. I'll just remove it, we won't include the very spicy part, the one that's overly pungent. We need to sauté our onions and garlic first. Let's slowly stir it until our onions are soft. Once our onions have softened, we will add seven medium-sized tomatoes, please. The grated tomato juice comes out faster when grated finely, but I couldn't find the finely grated tomato, so this is all we have used. I'll just add tomato sauce here later. What we'll do here is let it sit for a few minutes, as we need the tomatoes to soften so their juice can come out more, making our michado tastier. Hey, guys, after a few minutes, you'll need to crush that tomato you have. It would be better if you buy the one that is thoroughly cleaned, no. Since I didn't see any added sauce, I'll add 1 1/2 cups of tomato sauce. That one is optional, you know. You may put only tomatoes, but please slice them thinly; that would be better. There's no canned tomato paste here at our place, so I'll add 1 1/2 cups of tomato sauce. Then let's also include or mix in what we've been discussing. That's the broth from our marinated chicken earlier. Ayan. Just a little bit. Then we will also add our green peas. Here comes our chicken. But before we place our chicken, let's put a little salt. Just a small amount, please. Ayan. Then let's place the chicken we fried earlier. So simple, just like the elders. Since everything is already cooked because we've already roasted our chicken and our vegetables. Let's keep this between us here in our little corner. They're already serving the sarsa; it's already a main dish. The more rice you cook according to my version, the more you'll end up eating. Because your little chicks will surely eat more. Let's also place our prepared potatoes next. The same goes for the carrots and red bell pepper. Let's just keep this going for at least 10 minutes. We can serve this to our family now. Now we can mix it. Slowly. I'm still just a young man, brothers. You're getting full. I'm also like this, drifting aimlessly here. When cooking, I get full right away. Then when it's time to eat. You know that feeling when you have no appetite to eat. It's because you seem to have already forgotten. Because you've cooked it, you can already smell the ingredients. You seem full, especially when you see your family. It's delicious, so delicious from what you cooked. You're so tired it's like a wave after wave. Then they requested to repeat it. You haven't even started yet, but you're already winning at cooking. So, guys. Only a few minutes later. Oh, we already have a delicious and special chicken mechado for our family. So we can finally turn off our stove. Ayan, it can also be served now. This is so delicious at the feast. Ayan. You can also consider it as an opportunity. To those selling there. Some cafeterias. Wow. Just kidding. It's truly so incredibly beautiful. We hope our guests, family, will enjoy it. Really? I hope you liked this video of mine.
