Talk:Chicken Adobo/@comment-2105805-20100604114813

it's best to boil the chicken first in a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar before sauteing it in garlic.

the mixture seeps in to the chicken while boiling and adds a juicy flavor once sauteed with garlic.

do not throw the mixture yet though, you can add it as the sauce of the adobo once you're done sauteing. :)
