(via Budget Bytes: chicken adobo $9.66 recipe / $1.61 serving)

first of all, yes, I do pretty much exclusively cook based on recipes from this one food blog. sorry.

secondly, this is delicious and everyone who is poor should go make it. the recipe called for four pounds of chicken, but I am one lady and also one poor, so I just used one package of drumsticks and didn’t bother adjusting anything else in the recipe and it was fine. there’s loads of extra sauce but it’s tasty enough that I’ll just toss it into stir fries and such for a while. also, I didn’t have any garlic, and the sauce misses it. but I did have peach (or maybe apricot) preserves, so I put a couple spoonfuls of that into the sauce while it was reducing, because fuck you, I do what I want. I think it was good, but my palate isn’t that refined so who knows if there’s even a difference.

anyway, yeah, anything that I can cook and eat using a couple cheap ingredients is something I’ll be eating a lot of in the future, and this one turned out great, and everyone should make it.
