Cook This: Chickenjoy Adobo

What does adobo and Jollibee’s Chickenjoy have in common? It sounds like the beginning of a joke but work with us here. The two have very little similarities in the way of preparation and flavor but these two share a reputation of being reliable–and delicious–dishes to fall back on.

So it only makes sense to combine the two, right? Well, not really. But in a moment of sheer brilliance the team decided to fuse the two, and now we can never see either the same way—our slightly tighter clothes stand as proof that these two are the real #PerfectPair.

This recipe preserves the best aspect of each dish by marrying the crispness of fried chicken and the deep intense flavors of adobo. Preparing this modern version of adobo is easy for the kitchen novice since most of the cooking entails reducing the sauce to a thick syrupy mixture; the rest of the recipe’s process is down to tossing the stripped chicken in the sauce and garnishing with the prized chicken skin. Now, you’re ready to chickENJOY this modernized version of adobo. (Yes, that was lame. Forgive us. We couldn’t help it.)
