Chicken Adobo / チキンアドぼ
A classic Filipino dish.
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs bone-in chicken thigh or drumsticks
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2-3/4 cup white vinegar (I used spiced vinegar)
- 8-10 cloves garlic minced or crushed
- 1 tsp black peppercorns or ground pepper
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves in a bowl. Put in chicken. Cover and marinate the chicken for a minimum of 1-3 hours.
- Heat a pan on high heat. Take chicken out of marinade and drizzle honey on the chicken and cook the chicken on the pan until the honey caramelizes (1-2 min each side). As each piece finishes, place in a saucepan or wide pot.
- Pour the leftover marinade into the saucepan or pot over the chicken and add the bay leaves.
- Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Uncover and move the chicken around. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes. Sauce should reduce and thicken slightly. Serve with steamed rice.
Notes
You can use regular white vinegar but I like using Datu Puti's Spiced Vinegar for a little kick.
