☆Featured Recipe☆ This adobo uses chicken drumsticks. The meat becomes so tender it falls off the bone!
The origin of this recipe
I usually made adobo with pork, but when I tried it with chicken, it was much tastier. The method is almost the same, so I decided to add it as one of my recipes.

Steps

1

Mince the garlic and onion.
2

Add sesame oil to a pan and sauté the garlic and ginger.
3

Once fragrant, add the onion and chili pepper, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
4

Add the chicken and sear until slightly browned, then generously sprinkle with black pepper and turn off the heat.
5

Place the ingredients from step 4 and the ● ingredients into a slow cooker, and cook on high for at least 5 hours.
6

Optionally, add vegetables like carrots or boiled eggs for extra flavor.
7

If using a regular pot, bring to a boil, then simmer on very low heat for over 30 minutes.
8

There were several comments about overcooking, so if using a pot, increase the water and adjust the time while simmering on very low heat.
