Notes
- Marinating — Due to the acidity of the vinegar, we don’t recommend marinating your chicken adobo for more than three hours, as it will affect the texture of the chicken.
- Rest overnight — After cooking, it is recommended that you rest it overnight in your fridge, as the vinegar will mellow in time. This will result in a more layered taste.
