Sweet and Spicy Chicken Feet Adobo

Easy Recipe for Chicken Feet Adobo

Turn humble chicken feet into a sticky, finger-licking masterpiece with this Filipino-style adobo twist! Slow-cooked until fall-off-the-bone tender in a sweet, spicy, and garlicky glaze, these chicken feet (or adidas) are perfect beer food – messy, addictive, and full of bold flavors.

Why This Adobo Stands Out:

🍗 Gelatinous Goodness – Slow cooking unlocks rich, collagen-packed texture
🌶️ Sweet-Heat Bliss – Brown sugar & chili create the perfect glaze
🍻 Pulutan Perfection – Best with ice-cold beer (San Miguel, anyone?)
🥢 Fun to Eat – Just like wings, but with more suckable flavor

Pro Tips for the Best Adobo Feet:

✔️ Blanch first – Removes impurities for cleaner flavor
✔️ Low & slow simmer – Melts cartilage into buttery tenderness
✔️ Reduce sauce thick – For that glossy, clingy coating

How to Serve It Right:

🍚 Over garlic fried rice – Sauce-soaked grains = heaven
🧄 Extra fried garlic – For aromatic crunch
🍋 Calamansi wedges – Cuts through the richness
