Chicken Tapa




Chicken Tapa is a Filipino style recipe where chicken is marinated in soy sauce mixture and refrigerated overnight before frying. Chicken Tapa is the healthier version of Filipino Beef Tapa.

You can also use pork chops instead of chicken or beef using the same marinade below. Give it a try and leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you.
