QUEZON CITY, METRO MANILA–Once upon a time, the trend among fast food chains and restaurants was who could come up with the crunchiest fried chicken and the tastiest gravy to compliment it.
But the demand nowadays has raised the bar to another level as consumer look for more, such as double, deep-fried chicken topped with sauce and sesame seeds.
This familiar Korean street food has conquered the local market following the advent of South Korea’s franchise restaurant Bonchon and local pioneer Chicken Charlie.
And being the food enthusiasts Filipinos are, there’s another version of this deep-fried goodness that’s causing the craze among weekend markets across the metro.
Manang’s Chicken came into business when it first opened a stall at the Mercato Centrale in Taguig back in 2010.
Our Awesome Planet’s author Anton Diaz writes that this actually started as a home-cooked favorite by the owner’s househelp, thus the name “Manang’s.”
Since then, this deep-fried goodness has lured foodies to buying boxes after boxes of Manang’s Chicken courtesy of that sweet-and-spicy sauce we Filipinos have grown partial to.
It’s also quite cheaper compared to Bonchon. A box with six pieces of wings in Manang’s Chicken is priced at P149 while their wings and thighs combo at P374.
A personal favorite is the extra spicy soy garlic sauce for the wings. The chickens are lathered with generous amounts of this savory sauce which goes really well with it deep-fried.
Following their Mercato Centrale success, Manang’s Chicken has expanded their menu and opened store branches around Metro Manila as it continues to gain popularity following its tagline “Ang Bagong Fried Chicken ng Pinoy.”
