Some chicken adobo recipes call for marinating the chicken in soy sauce, garlic, and black peppercorns for an hour or two. I understand that marination brings out more flavor from the chicken. However, I also noticed that the method I use in this recipe, browning, not only enhances the taste, but the chicken absorbs all the flavors from the sauce while cooking. Instead of waiting two or three hours for the chicken to marinate, you can have your dinner ready on the table within 35 minutes.
