A classic Filipino dish, Chicken Adobo is marinated in soy sauce and vinegar, offering a delightful mix of flavors that promises comfort and warmth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup white Filipino cane vinegar (or distilled white vinegar)
  • 6–8 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs

Instructions

  1. Place the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, black peppercorns, and bay leaves in a large, nonreactive sauté pan.
  2. Nestle the chicken thighs, skin side down, into the pan.
  3. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat.
  4. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
  5. Turn the chicken over, cover again, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Uncover the pan and increase the heat to high, returning the sauce to a boil.
  7. While occasionally turning and basting the chicken, continue boiling the sauce uncovered until it reduces by half and thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes.
  8. Serve the chicken with steamed white rice.

Notes

For deeper flavor, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Consider adding coconut milk for a creamier texture.
