Afritadang Manok with a twist!

I always cook Chicken with Tomato Sauce.  Something always seems to be missing.  This time, as I was trying to imitate a version that I once tasted I decided to put a twist to my "Afritadang Manok"

Afritadang Manok with a Twist

Before my version seemed boring and lacking with flavor.  After several times of trying this dish out I finally came out with what my husband and I believe to be my best version.
I never thought two secret ingredients (which I'm gonna reveal later) can be very helpful.

Now let's start by enumerating the ingredients:

1/2 kilo chicken wings
chopped onions
minced garlic
1 small pack of Del Monte Tomato Sauce
fried potatoes
carrots (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
patis or fish sauce
1 tablespoon grated cheese
1 tablespoon pickle relish

grated cheese

pickle relish

So there goes my two secret ingredients--grated cheese and pickle relish.  Believe me, you must try adding this to your Aftritada.

How to cook:
1.  Saute onions first then garlic. Add chicken and cook until slightly browned.  Pour some patis or fish sauce.
2.  Let it cook for about 5 minutes before adding the tomato sauce.  Add tomato sauce and cook for another 10 minutes.  Add some water.
3.  Add fried potatoes.  Mix well.  Then add the grated cheese and pickle relish. Mix well again.
4.  Season with salt and pepper.  Let cook for several more minutes or until the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency.
5. Serve and enjoy with steaming hot rice.
