Please meet my recent dream dish. Filipino chicken adobo.

One day my son sent me a couple of pictures that caused me to feel sudden desire to cook. Although I have some Filipino friends, they never mentioned this dish. So I assumed that chicken adobo is one of those so so food. But how could I resist after seeing naked bones on his plate? Out of curiosity, I cooked and tried once, and I ended up making it four times in a row. And I still love it. It’s easy, simple, and delicious. Cooking method is healthy too. So, what’s not to like?

Hope you enjoy it!

Note : I used chicken drumsticks instead of chicken wings.
