Paksiw is a classic Filipino comfort dish made by simmering tender pieces of lechon in vinegar, garlic, and spices until the flavors come together in a rich, tangy sauce. It has a perfect balance of sour and savory notes that pair perfectly with steamed rice! This version uses leftover roasted chicken for a twist, making it not only flavorful, but resourceful. Sweet, tangy, and pure Filipino comfort. Have you had paksiw before? If so, let me know in the comments if you've had it with rotisserie chicken before or if you made this recipe :)

Ingredients (12)

Rotisserie chicken(1 whole, cut into serving pieces)
Mang Tomas All-Purpose Sauce(1 ½ cups)
Chicken broth(2 ½ cups, low sodium)
Garlic(6 cloves, minced)
Yellow onion(1, diced)
Sugar(¼–½ cup)
Black peppercorns(1–2 tsp)
Bay leaf(4–6 leaves, dried)

Instructions

Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Sauté the minced garlic (6 cloves) and diced onions (1) until they become soft and aromatic.
Add the chicken (1 whole) pieces to the pot and sauté for about 3 minutes.
Pour in the soy sauce and chicken broth (2 ½ cups). Allow the mixture to come to a boil.
Add the whole black peppercorns (1–2 tsp) and dried bay leaves (4–6 leaves). Cover the pot and let it simmer over medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken becomes tender.
Add the white vinegar to the pot and let the mixture re-boil.
