Chicken drumsticks cooked in a tangy mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves.
Chicken or pork made in the «adobo» style is the national dish of the Philippines. Every Filippino family throws their own spin on this recipe which may or may not require marinating the meat and always includes some frying («adobo» means «frying»). In any case, it is almost surprising that such an easy-going recipe (nicknamed «Lazy Chicken») delivers such a tasty result.

+It's fast, easy, cheap and the sauce is very good. -But the look and texture of drumsticks are not very appetizing.
I've checked out this recipe with a Phillipine lady and she tells me it's authentic. REALLY delicious. My picky family loves it and it's looks great to serve.
Produced nice and tender chicken. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I followed the recipe to the letter (except adding the peppercorns - since I didn't have any!) and the result was very tasty. Great for lunches too.
