This recipe features a Filipino classic adobo sauce. In fact, Adobo is considered to be the national marinade of this Pacific island, adobos are well known for their zesty combination of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and other aromatics that are perfect for meat and poultry.
Adobos do vary from region to region, and even from home to home. This recipe includes fish sauce. Fish sauce doesn’t taste anything like “fishy”, it will however significantly deepen the meaty flavors of the marinade and impart that to the chicken wings!
One tip: Be mindful not to add salt and pepper to the wings while grilling. Do everything in your power to resist this as there is plenty of salt in the soy and fish sauces already and the marinade is packed with pepper.
