Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken pieces (legs and thighs)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 3-4 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp whole peppercorns
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, onion, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, water, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Let the mixture marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat the cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade for later.
  3. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides.
  4. Pour in the reserved marinade and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and let the chicken simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. For an extra layer of flavor, you can remove the lid and let the sauce reduce until it reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Serve the Chicken Adobo hot over steamed rice and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For extra depth of flavor, you can add a splash of coconut milk or brown sugar to the dish.
