Mouthwatering Chicken Adobo ;q

         

             No list of Filipino food would be complete without adobo. A ubiquitous dish in every household in the Philippines, it's Mexican in origin, but Filipinos found that cooking meat (often chicken and pork) in vinegar, salt, garlic, pepper, soy sauce and other spices, was a practical way to preserve meat without refrigeration.This cooking style can be applied to different meats or even seafood.
