Filipino Chicken Adobo

How to cook Filipino Chicken Adobo?

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.
