Adobo (Filipino dish)

Chicken adobo Roughly $1 to $1.50 a portion before rice, and one of the most rewarding things to do with cheap bone-in chicken. The meat simmers in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves and black pepper until it is tender and glossy, and the sharp, salty sauce soaks into a heap of plain rice. Thighs and drumsticks suit it best. It tastes even better reheated the next day, so cook once and eat twice.
