I went to the Philippines about 5 years ago and I enjoyed my stay there for about a month. I loved the culture and especially the food! Oh, man, they know how to make their food delicious! This Chicken Adobo has always been my favourite that’s why I researched how to cook it. A Filipino friend of mine, gave me this recipe so it is legit! I tweaked it a bit to give a little diversity! So, here you go, friends! The best Chicken Adobo ever! Have a wonderful day, everyone. Enjoy!
