Adobo Chicken

4 servings
Philippines Searing, Sautéing, Stewing

A delicious, sweet, and savory take on a Chicken dish originating from the Philippines, Chicken Adobo. A large hint of Soy sauce, with the tang of Rice Wine vinegar and a slight spice from the Black Peppercorns, is simple, quick, and, ultimately, delicious.
