For Better Chicken, Make It the Puerto Rican Way

Use this seasoning anywhere you'd use garlic powder—it's especially delicious on chicken.

Adobo creates a wonderfully complex aroma with garlic at the forefront, with a very mild black pepper, oregano, turmeric, and cumin flavor. Garlic powder offers a different essence than fresh. It’s much more pungent, but it mellows out and takes on a sweetness when cooked. Because adobo is rich in garlic powder, whenever you want to add garlic powder to a recipe, just use adobo instead. You’ll get the garlic flavor you want, with the benefit of a little added seasoning and a beautiful golden color.
