Searing is a process of cooking that creates the crusty surface texture most people find appealing and the caramelized sugars that gives us that flavor we want. I personally like searing chicken rather than frying it. For this recipe, you may opt to oven bake the chicken for a more healthier choice. I was browsing through my recipe books and magazine to look for a recipe I could use as "pambaon". I bumped into this recipe in my Yummy food magazine October 2012 issue. I like searing meat to the same degree of sauteing it.
