Pinatisang Manok is a classic Filipino dish that is cooked much like Tinola (click for the recipe).
The only difference is that Pinatisang manok doesn’t have sliced Papayas but it’s still soup-y. This is a different take on the classic Pinatisang Manok. This one is cooked much like Adobo.
The main ingredient in this dish is, of course, the patis or fish sauce. Usually, fish sauce is just dipping sauce or a condiment but this time patis is the star! Thai fish sauce is very flavorful and best for this dish but you can use any regular fish sauce.
