Humba is a popular dish in the region of Visayas and some part of Mindanao. This is commonly called Adobong Bisaya because it is being cooked the way how the popular adobo of Tagalogs is cooked. The difference is that this dish is being cooked with brown sugar before cooking with soy sauce and vinegar.
The main ingredient of this Special Humba is Chicken. Usually, pork is being used as the main ingredient but to add some twist, we will use chicken instead. We will use chicken to have a unique version of the Humba. This dish can be a refresher for party food choices on catering menus. This is also a good option for mothers who cook meals for the family.
This is how we cook Special Humba Chicken.

This is a good alternative for the usual chicken menu we see on catering services.
