Favorite adobo recipe so far. I love that you marinate the chicken, then cook in the pot straight from the fridge. I do add a pinch of sugar/sweetner. Tastiest adobo ever, definitely a keeper.

Didn’t have time to marinate chicken for 1-3 hours. And it still turned out delicious. This recipient is a keeper.
