How to Cook Philippines Inspired Adobo Chicken Wings

Adobo is meat marinated in soy sauce, vinegar and garlic before it's simmered and then grilled.

After being inspired I couldn't think of a better way of using this technique other than cooking Adobo chicken wings. I'll post my recipe in the comments.

The amazing rich flavours you get from marinating the chicken this way is beautiful!

Ingredients

  • Chicken wings
  • 3/4 Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 White Vinegar
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 2 tsp Red Chili Paste
  • 2 Bay Leaves

In a Large Bowl Add 3 Finely Chopped Garlic Cloves.

Leave the marinade in the pan to thicken into a sauce.
