Adobong Paa ng Manok (Chicken Feet Adobo)

Adidas - that's how we call it back in the Philippines. Adobong Paa ng manok is one of may favorite ulam or just a finger food especially during a simple drinking session.

My husband saw a packet of cleaned chicken feet from a local grocery store here in Abu Dhabi. Without second thought, he grabbed and bought it. Happy tummy for dinner indeed :)

Here is my version chicken feet adobo :)

Chicken Adobo

Aside from food trippin’ during busy days, we always have in-stock of chicken in the fridge for an easy to cook recipe. And for our Adobo craving continuation, I did a different version of cooking adobo. I used fresh chicken cuts, and I used lemon juice for marinating instead of vinegar which I used from my previous adobo recipe post.

Ingredients:

• 1 KG Chicken Cut into pieces
• 1 cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 3 pieces Chillies – chopped
• 1 onion – chopped
• 1 head garlic - chopped
• 2 tablespoon sugar
• Salt
• Pepper
• Bay leaves
• Oil

Procedure:

1. Marinade Chicken cuts in soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Set aside.
2. Heat pan in medium high fire. Sauté garlic and onion in oil ‘til medium brown.
3. Mix in the chicken cuts and chillies. Set aside the marinade mixture.
4. Simmer the chicken. Once the liquid dries up add in small amount of oil to slightly fry the chicken.
5. When the chicken turns lightly brown add in the marinade mixture and sugar. Let it simmer till the sauce become thick.
6. Have a taste to judge if you need some adjustments in seasoning.
