Author Notes

This is a grate way to cook chicken it comes out super tender and very and it has all of the 5 basic tastes it has heat from chill peppers it is sweat, savory and a little bitter to make a very balance dish that tastes amazing . you need to use all of your senses when making this dish you need to see when the chicken has the perfect golden crust and you smell it in the oven and you can hear it sizzling on the pan and when its done cooking you touch it to see how tender it is . this was my first time making this dish or trying it and it was unlike anything I had before it has so many different flavors that all go really nice together, this dish is unique because I put my own twist on chicken adobo to make it have all of the 5 basic taste's
by making my dish I learned my palate is not picky and enjoys most foods, I really like this dish because the chicken comes out perfectly tender and is packed with different well balance flavors, i am definitely gonna make it again. I fined i enjoy the dish better when it is made spicier compared to my sister who likes it when it is sweeter. I will try to incorporate all the different tastes in all of my other dishes going forward on my culinary journey —Chef Jacob.
