Pinoy Crispy Chicken Adobo Flakes

Adobo is considered to be the national dish of the Philippines.  I believe that all Filipinos have their own versions of this wonderful and very versatile dish.  This time, I tried cooking Crispy Chicken Adobo Flakes.  This recipe is one of my Adobo Series that I could say that I am really proud of not only because my husband loved it but also because it is really yummy to the max!  It could be eaten as is or you can add sliced tomatoes...eat it with rice or garlic rice or even put it in your bread.

I remember that a dear friend and a former colleague of mine used to bring to school her famous adobo flakes each time there would be a celebration.  Everyone would really have fun eating her delicious adobo flakes and in a flash it's all gone.  I think it was their secret family recipe...may be that's the reason why I was not able to get its recipe hehehe.

Well anyway, I suddenly found myself craving for adobo flakes so I did cook one nice adobo flakes dish that I would certainly cook again and again.
