Nothing beats a classic homemade Chicken Adobo 🇵🇭🍗

Tender chicken simmered in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns until perfectly rich and flavorful. Slow-cooked so the sauce becomes deep, savory, and slightly tangy — perfect to pour over hot steamed rice.

Simple ingredients, bold Filipino flavor, and pure comfort in every bite. ❤️

Who else grew up with adobo as their favorite ulam?
