Philippine Chicken Against Colds

Home Remedies

A listener to our radio show called in the following recipe his Philippine-American girlfriend taught him. He says eating this chicken once a week keeps colds away. We don't know about that, but it might keep everyone else away as well, which could be good protection against infection:

Chicken Adobo

6 pcs. Chicken 1 cup soy sauce 1 cup white vinegar 6" piece fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced thin 1 tablespoon minced garlic 2 or 3 tablespoons brown sugar

Combine all ingredients in a casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 5 minutes.

My ex-husband is Filipino and I do still make Chiken Adobo and Pork Adobo, but I don't use ginger root or brown sugar. I also cook it on the stove top and add Bay leaf instead. I know chicken is good for colds and so is ginger, if you can take the taste. Those are the 'magic' ingredients. Adobo is just GOOD eatin' !!!

There was a Philippine student in the house when I was in college and he cooked it on top of the stove with a bay leaf
