Recipe: Chicken Adobo
April 15, 2016
There was a time that I was so addicted to fried chicken. I would ever 6 pieces of chicken to eat for the whole day and I did that for years. So when I started to cook for myself, I try to stay away from chicken. I felt I just had an overdose of chicken for years. However, this is an exception. I’ve cooked pork adobo a couple of times already. This time, I needed to try the chicken adobo version.
The cooking method is actually the same. It’s pretty easy to cook but the satisfaction we get from adobo is way more. There’s a reason why adobo is one of the most popular dishes in the Philippines. I still prefer the pork adobo over chicken adobo though. But if I think about my health, I have to lean towards chicken adobo. Enjoy the recipe! 🙂
