"Today’s feature is Adobong Paa ng Manok. It is also called adobong adidas, from the famous shoes factory. (I believe it is an infamous Filipino pun.) Adobong paa ng manok has always been a special delicacy to Filipinos. However, those who are foreign to this dish might need an adjustment from chicken feet appearance down to its taste. But for those who are adidas lovers, turning it into adobo is absolutely a go. "

Notes=You can get chicken feet already cleaned from the wet market. It will save you more time. If they are not clean yet, you have to cut the claws first, boil it in water and remove the scales properly before proceeding to cook. You need to remove the brownish stuff left in the "palm" of the chicken feet to get adidas thoroughly cleaned.
-If you don't prefer adobong adidas spicy, you can still follow through this recipe and remove the chili. You can also add a bit of brown sugar to balance out the flavors.
