Advice

When making chicken adobo, it is important to marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least a few hours before cooking. This helps the flavors to really blend together and intensify. Additionally, it is important to use low-sodium soy sauce as it can easily overpower the other flavors in the dish. When it comes to cooking, be sure to simmer the chicken in the sauce and not boil it. Simmering helps the chicken to stay tender and juicy. Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with different ingredients, like ginger, garlic, and bay leaves, to add different flavor profiles to the dish.
