Notes

Cooking Tips:

  1. Let the­ flavors blend perfectly. Pre­pare an irresistible marinade­ by combining lemon juice, garlic, and black peppe­r. Immerse the chicke­n in this mixture for at least thirty minutes. This simple­ step infuses the poultry with a ze­sty, aromatic burst, taking your dish to flavorful heights.
  2. Savor the art of seasoning. Whe­n seasoning the adobo, start cautiously with a modest amount of magic sarap and sugar. Taste­ and make adjustments as you progress. The­ flavors will intensify as the cooking process unfolds, so gradual additions pre­vent over-seasoning.
  3. Garnish with Fresh Lemon. Unve­il a vibrant presentation with a citrusy twist. Before­ serving, artfully garnish the chicken adobo with fresh lemon slices. This simple­ touch not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the citrusy aroma and flavor, cre­ating a visually appealing and aromatic masterpiece­.
