Adobo

I've never had (or really even heard of) adobo prior to a couple weeks ago. Which is a little crazy since I lived with a Filipino for 7 years. Can't believe she never introduced me to this tasty dish! Since I've never had it before, I have no idea if what I made tasted authentic, but it sure did taste good. I adapted a recipe found on Food Network for my own tastes. Of course I felt the need to spice it up, so I added serrano chilis & chopped onion. I only used chicken thighs & I also added some brown sugar to cut through the vinegar. Served along side some Jasmati rice.

The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful, the meat just fell off the bone. I should braise more often!
