Filipino chicken adobo

Chicken second courses

My step-father was the cook of the family and when he passed, my mother tried to feed me with Hamburger Helper. Enough said. In remembrance of him I began to experiment with one of my favorite dishes: chicken pork adobo. However, I usually stick to chicken because I'm too lazy to deal with pork cuts. I don't exactly have a set recipe since I've combined a Filipino cookbook, recipes online, and snippets of memories of my step-father (7up was his secret ingredient). When I can't think of anything else to cook or I'm thinking of my dad, I make chicken adobo. <br /> <br />Note: Everyone has a different recipe for adobo, some salty some sweet, some with coconut milk, etc. This is just a basic recipe and I encourage everyone to experiment with salty adobo (no 7up, although it also works as a tenderizer), different types of shoyu and vinegars, or adding lemon or coconut milk.
