Adobo is a popular dish in the Philippines. It is cooked in many different ways. This is one of my favorite dishes to make. But, every time I cook adobo, I always make a twist to it. Sometimes, I make this with boiled eggs and chicken liver.
In this recipe, I have included the skin of the chicken. You can always remove it prior to cooking or not eat it at all. The leftovers actually taste better the next day.
