Chicken braised in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf and pepper until glossy and tender.
Adobo is the Philippines' best-known dish; vinegar braising preserved meat in the tropical heat long before the Spaniards named it after their own adobo marinade. Pampanga, the 'culinary capital', has its own versions.
The name: Adobo comes from the Spanish adobar, 'to marinate'.
