Notes
Cooking Tips:
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.
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.
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.
