Filipino Chicken Adobo Tips

What does chicken adobo taste like?

Chicken adobo is a very flavorful dish with a mildly sweet, tangy garlic and soy flavor. The acid in the vinegar breaks down the fibers in the chicken, making it very tender.

Why is it called adobo?

"Adobo" comes from the Spanish word "adobar," which means "marinate." In Filipino cuisine, the marinade for a chicken adobo recipe is traditionally vinegar-based. Serve this flavorful dish with a simple Almond Rice Pilaf or a Veggie Rice Bowl for color and flavor.
