Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
Choose the Right Chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use chicken thighs or drumsticks. They have more flavor and will stay moist during cooking.
Brown the Chicken: Browning the chicken before adding the sauce will give it a nice caramelized flavor. Make sure to brown the chicken in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam instead of browning.
Use a Dutch Oven or Large Pot: You'll need a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the chicken and sauce. This will give you enough room to stir the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding the pot.
Simmer the Chicken: Once you've added the sauce to the chicken, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
Add Vegetables: Add the vegetables towards the end of the cooking time so that they retain their鮮heid and crunch.
Serve with Rice: Chicken Afritada is traditionally served with rice. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes or noodles.
