Instructions

Marinate chicken thighs with fish sauce for about 30 minutes or while you prepare all the ingredients. Place in fridge.
Add enough oil to fry potato and carrot. Once done, transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil. Set aside.
Remove excess oil in skillet and leave about 3 tablespoons of oil.
Fry green and red pepper for a minute. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Fry both sides of chicken for 2 minutes. This will add more flavor to your dish.
Move chicken around skillet and saute onion for a minute.
Toss-in garlic and cook for a minute.
Stir-in hotdog and cook for a minute.
Add tomato sauce, water or chicken broth, bay leaves and ground black pepper. Simmer until chicken is cooked on medium to low heat.
Toss-in potato and carrot. Blend well and cook for about 2 minutes.
Stir-in green peas, red and green bell pepper. Simmer for a minute.
Season with salt.
Serve with fish sauce, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

The easier way to cook chicken afritada is to skip frying some of the ingredients. I still recommend that you fry the potato, carrot, green and red bell pepper so it doesn’t get soggy.
