Longer marination can make the flavor too strong and affect the texture of the chicken. • Boil the Vinegar First: Let the vinegar boil uncovered for 3–5 minutes before stirring to avoid a sharp, raw taste in the sauce. • Simmer Covered, Then Reduce: Keep it covered during the first simmer to make the chicken tender. Uncover for the last few minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce. • Flavor Tip: Adobo tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to deepen—perfect for leftovers! Thank you for watching!
