Fried Chicken Adobo

Fried chicken adobo is a delicious Filipino dish that combines two classic dishes - fried chicken and adobo. Adobo is a Filipino cooking method where meat is marinated in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and other spices, and then simmered in the marinade until tender and flavorful.

To make fried chicken adobo, you will need to marinate chicken pieces in adobo sauce for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator. Then, coat the chicken in seasoned flour and fry until golden brown and crispy. Serve with steamed rice and a side of adobo sauce for dipping.
