One of the best tasting dish that is hard to resist is ‘tinola.’ And this is best prepared when a native chicken is used.
‘Tinola’ is often referred to as ‘tinolang manok.’ But in the Visayas, ‘tinola’ refers to any dish with soup or broth. The dish could be meat, fish, or vegetable.
Because of the natural feeds, the taste of the native chicken is way much better than the commercially grown chicken. If possible, we always prefer a native chicken for tinola especially if there is a special occasion. And days before, the chicken needs to be kept first in a cage for several days in order to soften its meat and to minimize the unwanted smell of its meat.
For the native chicken, it is a common experience to find those eggs that are starting to form within its body. Tinola becomes tastier if the eggs are included.
