Chicken Adobo has been associated with Filipino cuisine since time immemorial. Cooking chicken using the inadobo method results in a great-tasting dish. It also helps keep prolong its storage life.

This method involves two procedures, boiling and frying. Here is how I did it:

Combine the chicken pieces along with a portion of the garlic and all other ingredients (except for the oil) in a cooking pot. Boil each side of the chicken for 10 minutes. This will ensure that the chicken gets cooked completely.

The frying part comes next. Using a clean pan, saute the remaining garlic until it browns. Pan-fry the boiled chicken for 1 minute per side. This gives the meat a nice texture. Tenderize the chicken by pouring the sauce from the cooking pot. Cook until the sauce reduces to half. That’s it!

This gives your dish a character, compared to just simply boiling all the ingredients together.

I love to have my adobo with rice. Newly cooked white rice is the best. I also love it with garlic fried rice. Sometimes, I add a piece of boiled egg to my meal. Yummy!
