Cooking

Roast the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken in a roasting pan. Pour the adobo sauce over the chicken, making sure it gets into the cavity and under the skin. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Finish and Serve
Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the skin to crisp up. Once done, let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy your slow roasted chicken in adobo!
