Chicken Adobo Cito’s style – A favorite Filipino dish that will tickle your innards



Prep time – 10 minutes
Cooking time – 1 hour
Will serve 6 people

Ingredients:
1 cut up whole chicken (about 4 lbs)
1/3 cup vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tbs pancake or maple syrup
1 heaping table spoon minced or chopped garlic
1 tbs ground black pepper
1 tbs chicken rub seasoning
1 tbs Cajun seasoning
1 tbs barbecue seasoning
3 bay leaves

1, Thoroughly mix the black pepper, chicken rub, Cajun seasoning, and barbecue seasoning and bay leaves with the chicken

2. Put one layer of chicken on a thick pan (I use a big cast iron skillet) and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to brown the chicken

3. While the chicken is baking, mix the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and pancake syrup together

4. After 45 minutes, turn over all the chicken pieces and pour the vinegar/soy sauce mixture on top

5. Broil for exactly 10 minutes to make it even browner. More than 10 minutes will burn it.

5. Serve with brown rice cooked with a little sweet rice to make it softer or with sweet potatoes baked in the microwave.

Your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, and guest will drool over this as soon as they open
the door of your house. If they seem to not like it, send them over to McDonald’s
