Recently, I've been looking through my grandma's old recipe box and and stumbled across this very simple chicken adobo recipe. As many of you know, my grandparents grew up in Laupahoehoe on the Big Island of Hawaii so much of their cooking influence and dishes come from the people in that area and their upbringing.
Adobo is the national dish of the Philippines and comes from the word, "adobar" which means "marinade," "sauce," or "seasoning." From the earliest days, the Malay voyagers would use salt and vinegar to extend the life of their proteins. And to this day, much of the foundation of Filipino food is salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
I hope you enjoy this very simple and basic recipe of chicken adobo.
