#52 The Philippines' Chicken Adobo



This delicious meal is the Philippine's favorite. From the North to the South, everybody in the country knows what Chicken Adobo is, and every home cooks it regularly.  It is bursting with flavor, so simple, and when done right, it tastes oh so heavenly. I make mine with non-traditional ingredients, and after many years of cooking this dish, this recipe that I will share is by far the best that I have created. There is no need to marinate it for hours, it's quick, simple and yummy. I hope you like it! :)


 

Mix all these, and you have an explosion of flavors!
