The story of the dish

Pininyahang manok is a traditional Filipino chicken stew that originated among the Tagalog people, who developed the dish by slow-cooking chicken with native pineapple and local spices. It is traditionally eaten with steamed rice or bread, and the sweet-sour broth is often enjoyed as a comfort food during rainy season.

The name: Pininyahang manok means 'pineapple-style chicken' in Tagalog, referring to the use of pineapple as the main flavoring.
