The recipe here is a very simple chicken adobo but the only difference is adding it with soda crackers and soda lime softdrinks like 7-Up or Sprite. You will be amazed by just adding crushed soda crackers will make the chicken adobo tastier and appetizing. It’s because the adobo sauce is richer and thicker. The lime soda too adds a flavorful taste of the adobo by tenderizing it and has a slight sweet taste. I also made this a little spicy by adding long green chilies but you can use siling labuyo or bird’s eyes chilies to make it even more spicier.
