Kalderetang Manok is a popular Filipino dish consisting of tender chicken cooked in a flavourful sauce made from a blend of tomato sauce, onions, garlic, and various spices. It is traditionally served over rice. While traditionally Kaldereta was prepared with goat or beef meat, modern variations now include pork, fish, tofu and even chicken.

A crucial element of Kalderetang Manok is the marination of chicken in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, and spices, which tenderizes the meat and infuses it with a delicious flavour. The chicken is then cooked with mashed liver, liver spread and/or cheese until it becomes tender and falls off the bone.

In addition to the chicken and sauce, Kalderetang Manok is commonly served with a variety of vegetables such as bell peppers, onions and potatoes, which provide added flavour and nutrition.

Recently, Kalderetang Manok is gaining popularity in the Philippines, particularly among those looking to reduce their intake of red meat. This dish is well-known for its rich and savory flavour, with a nice kick from chili, and it makes for a comforting and satisfying meal option
