Directions
Essentially, this chicken dish is flavoured with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and vinegar. Sometimes carrots and potatoes are added to balance out the strong adobo sauce. I personally really recommend adding them! That’s how Lanie cooked it. I added a bay leaf as it’s a flavour I love and other adobo recipes seem to have it as well.
