How to cook Filipino Chicken Adobo?
Filipino Chicken Adobo is the national dish of the Philippines. This is a great dish made from simple ingredients that are in every home. The chicken will be juicy, glazed and with a spicy pepper taste, and almost not at all spicy. For this recipe, we use fillets of chicken thighs, and only them. The thighs will turn out juicier than the breast or other part of the chicken.
