Came late to the party, but as a Filipino well-versed in the traditional cuisines in the provinces, James did an absolutely bangin' job (did I get that right? hahaha) on that chicken adobo.
Most people would argue that term adobo has Hispanic origins, but the practice of cooking in vinegar is actually already common in pre-colonial Philippines, for it is shown to preserve shelf-life of cooked food. The use of soy sauce has been introduced by the Chinese traders before the Spanish era. On their arrival, the term adobar was coined because of the similarity of the marinade used by the colonizers, which eventualy stuck and thus the name of the dish today.
As James pointed out, what he did to cooking the chicken was untraditional, but not uncommon at all in Ph. It is well realized here that adobo can be cooked is as many different ways as there are households, each having their own version of cooking. What you can try is to cook the chicken in low heat in the braising liquid until dry so to infuse all the liquid flavors to the meat. The frying though was a wonderful idea to add that crispy texture to the skin, a part of the chicken a lot of Filipinos love.
The way he described chicharrones, what we know here in Ph is chicharon, the most widely available is with the pork rind version. The usual procedure done here is to season pork skin in salt then dry them out in the sun for a couple of days, then fry them in hot oil which will result to a puffy and very crispy state. Very good but very unhealthy snack usually eaten with a spiced vinegar condiment and with beer.

I love watching Ben cook in particular, he's quick and collected and thinks through absolutely everything and has such a brilliant mind, he comes up with some of the most interesting ideas and watching him cook is absolutely FASCINATING. Also, I want to hear the fun facts and the nonsense about where the word catsup comes from! Let him speak!

What kind of fusion food do you enjoy making?
I personally am a big fan of a bacon cheeseburger wonton recipe I came up with and serve with a garlic aeoli. I was thinking of even doing a mushroom and swiss burger that leans a bit more into the oriental side by using shitaki mushrooms. :)

Love that when they drew the line for James' countries they went across africa, and the whole world. But if you just went left it's literally a straight line across the Pacific Ocean, lol.
