TITA EM'S CHICKEN WINGS ADOBO



Tita Em's Chicken Wings Adobo image

Tita Em is a nickname for Zosima Arceo Phojanakong, also known as Emma, who happens to be the mother of King Phojanakong, the chef at Kuma Inn on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Her background is Filipino, and Mr. Phojanakong's recipe for chicken wings is a spin on something that his mother used to cook every week for her family when the chef was a boy: a whole chicken simmered in a silky, peppery adobo gravy. In Mr. Phojanakong's version, that sauce gets extra creaminess from coconut milk. At Kuma Inn, the wings have become a signature dish.
