Just like my favorite chicken adobo, I always enjoy eating Sweet Chicken Asado for either lunch or dinner — I don’t even mind having the leftovers the next day for breakfast. This Sweet Chicken Asado was inspired by the pork asado recipe that I published back then when I was starting this food blog.
I am trying my best to limit my rice intake for some reason. However, there are times that I cannot control myself especially when dishes such as this is served in front of me; it’s just too good to ignore – I don’t want to regret it later on. I always know that the best way to eat dishes such as this sweet chicken asado is with warm white rice – so let there be rice and lots of it.
Eggs also go well with sweet chicken asado – I mean, you can have it with fried egg and rice for breakfast, or salted egg and rice for lunch. Sweet Chicken Asado, a piece of boiled egg, and a cup of rice sounds right for dinner. Yum!
