Filipino-Style Adobo Chicken

adobo chicken recipe

Adobo chicken stole my heart in Hawaii. I worked in a kitchen with two Filipino boys and one of their mothers for the second half of my time living in Honolulu. I will never be able to recreate their delicious adobo (should have gotten a recipe!)- especially since I don’t see myself buying chicken livers anytime soon; although that might have been the secret touch.

marinating filipino adobo chickenFor those of you who have never had Adobo Chicken, it is a must try. It is marinated mainly in vinegar and soy sauce, so it has a delicious salty-sour flavor. I added some ginger and Thai chills to my marinade to spice things up a bit. With this, the longer you can let it marinate, the better it will be!
