Notes

Cooking Tips for Chicken Feet Adobo:

1. Marination Magic: Allow the chicken feet to marinate in the soy sauce, vinegar, and other seasonings for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance the depth of flavor and tenderness.
2. Low and Slow Simmer: Achieve the best results by simmering the chicken feet on low heat for an extended period, ensuring that they become tender and absorb the rich flavors of the adobo sauce.
3. Taste and Adjust: Adobo is all about balance, so taste the sauce as it cooks and adjust the sweetness, saltiness, or spiciness to your preference by adding more sugar, soy sauce, or chili peppers as needed.
