How to cook chicken caldereta

Kaldereta or caldereta is not the usual way of cooking chicken, Pinoy chicken stews are normally cooked adobo, afritada or pininyahan. Of course, chicken can also be cooked as kaldereta and it is equally tangy delicious if done right.

On my chicken kaldereta I used chicken wings, I find chicken wings the tastiest part and it’s ideal for my version of kaldereta. You can choose whatever part of chicken you prefer. This is still a guaranteed tasty chicken caldereta.
