Chicken adobo is my favorite Filipino comfort food and this easy to follow recipe has well-rounded flavor that is savory, tangy and a little bit sweet. The chicken wings are my protein of choice when it comes to making adobo because it renders so well into the sauce. This recipe tastes even better the next day and would be good as the start of some adobo fried rice
