Some may consider this an exotic food or weird. But this is such a delicious recipe that probably most Filipinos love. Chicken liver adobo or adobong atay ng manok is quite simple to prepare. No stress at all.
It’s not far from the usual and traditional adobo recipe. The combination of vinegar, soy sauce and bay leaves create a very distinct adobo taste. But it’s nutritional value should not be ignored.

Note from Delish:
Filipinos love adobo, that’s a fact. And chicken live adobo is probably one of the top adobo recipes. Some people may consider it as an exotic food. But do you know that according to The Guardian, “chicken livers are high in protein and a rich store of folate, which is important for fertility and helps prevent certain birth defects”? Awesome right?
