Roasted Chicken Adobo
Ah, the classic Roasted Chicken Adobo. This is an essential Filipino go-to to feed the whole family or a gathering of friends. I must admit, this recipe holds a special place in my heart, as it was always saved for special occasions. I’m pretty sure the phrase “Good things come to those who wait” was referring to this recipe, because while it takes a while to bake, it is worth every bite. This hearty dish is heavily coated in tangy and savory Filipino adobo, and will satisfy everyone at the table.
What protein to pair with Adobo has been the subject of intense and delicious debate across Filipino families in the Philippines and in the US. The debate argument: should Filipino Adobo be made with chicken, pork, fish, or... even tofu? My family loved to use chicken the most, but the answer will change with whoever you ask in the Philippines.
